Never trust or buy something from a Alphabet company. They will always cancel the project and leave you high and dry.
Their track record speaks for itself.
But this doesn't have anything to do with alphabet? They just open sourced the code.
Fitbit bought Pebble then Google bought Fitbit.
Yes, but reading the page tells you they've gotten google to open-source PebbleOS and highly suggests they're either going to maintain the open source version, or otherwise fork the code.
PebbleOS was open sourced and now the original founder who hasn't worked for alphabet for ages wants to build a new device using the now open sourced OS. No way Google can drop support and they have essentially given the code away because they aren't using it anymore.
Yes, true, but irrelevant in this case.
