Google open-sources the Pebble OS
Yes and no. They did buy it and just let it die. They were so far ahead of the competition at the time.

It was dead long before Google was involved. Pebble filed for insolvency back in 2016 with Fitbit acquiring much of the assets. It was dead at this point. 5 years later Google bought Fitbit.
