This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Further to that, paying for a product then the seller taking that product away from you without refunding your payment is stealing.

YES! This IS stealing!
Man does "Google Nest" come to mind. Buys company. Pushes it all over the place. "Eh, I think we're done. Whole ecosystem useless now."
Which is par for the course with Google and not at all a surprise, but sheesh.
