They bought Sparrow, and killed it. That's why. A slow, undignified death.

  "killed" is a bit misleading; Sparrow became Inbox.

    Did it? I doubt any of the code is shared, and they seem like very, very different products.

    A bad version of Sparrow. The Sparrow app is totally awesome in comparison with the web version of inbox which is web.

    Yep, but sadly Inbox is a very poor facsimile of Sparrow.
