The ones that stuck out at me as wrong:

> Inbox -> GMail Features

Some features made it, but what I've heard from the people that used it was the complete redesign toward tasks instead of emails was what made it valuable, which hasn't happened to gmail.

> Google Wave -> Realtime collaboration in Google Docs/Slides/Sheets

The closest equivalent now is actually Slack. Google was too early to the party and didn't realize what could come of it.

Google Wave was going to be revolutionary, not because it was a chat system, but because it was to be an open system, not the walled garden that Slack and other messaging platforms are.
