The point seemed to be that they don't want to make big changes because it's "disruptive". But... have no problem being disruptive to millions of end users.

Google doesn't want to be disruptive when it hurts Google. Disrupting users of a profitable product hurts Google. Disrupting users of an unprofitable product does not hurt Google. Google happy. Google kill unprofitable product.
