Google gets that the world and the things we use are always evolving. Think about how mnay products out there that are "final product" become quickly outdated? The early ipods, cell phones, computers, tvs, dvd, cd, audio cassette, beta video tapes, VHS, etc. Products need to continue to evolve, and not just update to keep up with the modern world.
Google Earth launched June 28, 2005 as Google Earth and prior to that in 2001 as EarthViewer 3D, and if Memory serves me right, Google maps launched prior to Google earth's launch. I know one of their teams that helped bring Google maps & earth to light is now working on Google wave.
