Windows Phone, Windows Mobile, Family Room, Zune, Expression. When products don't create enough revenue they get axed.

While absolutely true, Google has a reputation and history of killing off huge swaths of projects widely adopted by end users, even if they were theoretically profitable.

That's not always true.

There are a few reasons as to why one would keep low/no profit or even completely unprofitable projects going.

It's all tied to their value proposition. For example, if you can sustain a no profit project, it will bring you new customers despite creating no revenue. A glaring example of high-value yet unprofitable product would be Twitch, all because it brings in data.
