Maybe round one of it like ten years ago did? From what I understand, it's a Google employee who opened the "Hey, I want to get rid of this and have no plans to provide a zero-effort-for-users replacement." Github Issue a few months back.

Do you have some sort of exclusive short term memory or something where you can’t remember someone’s name? Bizarre reply. Other people may have had a similarly lazy idea, but Mason is the one pushing and leading the charge.

It seems maybe you want me to blame this on Google as a whole but that would mean bypassing blame and giving into their ridiculous bs.
