> I still have yet to see a Google website using Angular in any large capacity.
Angular is not intended for typical "websites". It's for replacing what would previously have been desktop CRUD applications. Google use it extensively for internal tooling.
It's also worth remembering that most public facing Google applications have been around for years, decades even. It would take a long time to replace one of these with Angular, even if there was a desire to do so.
- Lengthy learning curve.
- Not concerned with performance at all (can be a nightmare on mobile devices with low RAM).
- Google's history of throwing away and/or deprecating projects, (see Angular v1).
- I still have yet to see a Google website using Angular in any large capacity.
- Ecosystem lock-in. It tries to do a LOT of stuff, and you generally need to be doing all these things the Angular Way™.
