IIRC, the last time Google gave a service the ability to download (export) data, they closed it shortly there after. (RIP Reader)

Exporting data via Google Takeout is supported for 15 (and counting) products, including Youtube, Google+, Drive, and more. Google made a commitment to make it easy to extract your data, and is executing on that. It has nothing to do with shutting services down.
