I wouldn't disagree.
Except that Google Groups had potential when they recognised that groups need file storage, calendaring, and then they later withdrew those features taking it down to "email lists".
With the gradual folding of groups into Google+ they've introduced real identity into the mix, which most people find to be not-compatible with sharing their hobbies/interests/pastimes.
Google Groups are good for email lists, but even then they're not quite as good as a listserv once you get to a certain size.
But for small email groups, it's hard to beat Google Groups.
Google+ is a strange thing though, a hybrid of many things, solving virtually no-one's problems. It seems like it was someone's theoretical experiment
