Those include the name of the company and actively marketed product. If Google rebranded to Winklemoops, and Android get renamed to Callithing, then the "Google" and "Android" trademarks would eventually expire due to trademarks being contingent on actual use. So yeah, "Google Wallet" and "Android Pay" would eventually become perfectly valid names for someone else to claim.
And Twitter being renamed to X is literally that: the company and product name were changed, and both the company and product no longer uses that original name for anything other than to call out "formerly Twitter". That is not "use" for the purposes of keeping your trademark.
