Google has decided that your privacy is no longer their "number one priority" and reversed their long-standing policy towards anonymous online ad tracking and user names; the Google DoubleClick advertising database will now be combined with all other information Google has on users, such as from Gmail and all other accounts and logins.
excerpt of the new policy:
We may combine personal information from one service with information, including personal information, from other Google services -- for example to make it easier to share things with people you know. [...] Depending on your account settings, your activity on other sites and apps may be associated with your personal information in order to improve Google's services and the ads delivered by Google. [...]

Do you have any links/evidence to support your statements?
At the moment Sailfish OS looks to be used, if not insanely popular. The most downloaded app in the Jolla App store has been downloaded more then 50,000 times - which is minuscule beer compared to iOS and Android, but it is significantly non-zero, and does not include the apps downloaded from the Intex Store as the Intex Aquafish is set up to use Intex's store by default rather than the Jolla one.
A new revision of Sailfish OS 2 came out yesterday, so even if the best developers have gone, some development work and/or bugfixing is going on, so the platform is not dead yet. If you can support your statements that imply that it is breathing its last, please do, but at the moment, I cannot find corroboration.
