Half the Google one should be represented by a headstone.

It's an older meme. Google was still a good company back then.

They’ve been killing good products for well over a decade

The meme is around for at least 14 years. Google was perceived as good company back then. Even XKCD had comic about Google not knowing how to be evil.

Oof, that alt-text really hurts to read though.

spoilerIt'll be hilarious the first few times this happens.

Yes, but I think the headstone comment is relating to all the products killed by Google, often referred to as the Google Graveyard, a term that’s been around since at least 2013. Nothing to do with Google being evil or not.
