Because they don't just kill the services. In some cases, they cannibalize apps/services and add features to other comparable projects. Inbox's labels and snooze made their way into Gmail. A handful of Allo features are now in Meets and Messages. So on and so forth.

Gmail had labels well before Inbox. They threw away the useful part of Inbox, which was the automagical organization.

I think I meant categories/groups/bundles and not labels. The "Primary" "Promotion" "Updates" tabs.

And those pale in comparison to the Inbox categories. They actually make it harder to organize my email now.
