There's tons of problems with Google's services. They make radical changes that bloat them and slow them down. They cut services that people find useful because they're not as big as something like Maps or Gmail, or even for no reason at all. But no matter how much you complain, either on a blog post or to Google themselves, if you just come back to them at the end of the day you've changed nothing at all.

Not liking Google Photos? Get Dropbox on your phone and upload your pictures there! Blogger doesn't give you enough control? Use Wordpress or Medium instead, or run your own blog! Google has too many users on their services to care about you. If you want change, go out and make the change yourself.

Photo provider switching is hard these days because many people have 100's of GB of photos and video.

Dropbox offers 1TB of storage for $10/mo (or $100/yr), and their "Carousel" app isn't terrible. And you get direct access to the damn files on all your devices (regardless of platform). It's a much better service than what Apple or Google offers for these reasons alone.

Yes, but for many, moving around hundreds of gigabytes of data is something that will take a day or two on their connection, which is enough of a barrier that they'll deal with crap instead.
