From a skim of the variety article, it seems that google is blocking access to their assistant at a vendor level - i.e. if you have a product that includes the alexa assistant, you can't also have a product that includes the google assistant. This seems fairly stupid if true. I'm hoping that either i'm reading it wrong, or variety has misinterpreted the sources, and google is actually attempting to block multiple voice assistants on a per-device level. Because to me, that makes perfect sense - products like amazon's echo or google home would get very confusing if they included multiple different voice-triggered assistants.
