I really don't see how Google would exit the cloud service business. It's a core competence of theirs.
People have been saying "I'd rather stick with Evernote than Keep" as well. And less than 2 years later, Keep is still there and being updated (with not that many users I think), while Evernote had just laid off 20 people.
I also think most of Google's "spring cleaning" projects have been small projects that made no money - as in they didn't even have a business model (such as Reader). The cloud business seems to be pretty straightforward - we give you this, you pay us that.
