Google just killed the Firebase stripe extension – zero warning

Why do they keep doing this? I noticed users of my product (https://clonedub.com) were complaining that they couldn't upgrade plans. I also noticed there were no new subscriptions all day which was unusual. So I log into firebase to figure out what's wrong. Lo and behold it reads "Firebase no longer supports stripe extension. This has been moved to invertase". The only mention of this is here: https://github.com/invertase/stripe-firebase-extensions/issues/542 Checking this out further I realised it was a barely supported open source alternative that didnt even work. What a joke?!! I genuinely don't understand why they have such contempt for businesses on their platforms. Why do they keep doing this?!!!
