In true Google fashion, they remade the same product, gave it a new name, and made it compete with the existing one.

Just FYI, it was wallet originally, moved to "pay" then both existed for way too long with not really knowing which did what

Now we're back to wallet.

Google drank so much capitalist koolaid they thought the company needed internal competition when the main reason they remain so big is because they have big chunks of monopoly power in several key tech fields
