Google dropped Google Glass when it wasn't profitable within 40 seconds. I know they're known for having zero patience with projects, but that one still bugs me.

I think it was more because of the huge backlash surrounding privacy.

Nobody wants to be filmed all the time just because you hang around with someone wearing Google glasses.

Stadia was never going to fly, the internet speeds lots of people can get is just too low.
