I get your point, but why reuse the Hangouts brand for a completely different product while deprecating the old one? And I definitely would take their ecosystem of 3 years ago over today. Hangouts was the main chat app and it integrated my SMS and Google Voice pretty nicely at the time. Also, I'd like to go back even further and get back XMPP federation. Now, I have the chat platform that I still use (consumer Hangouts), a few that noone uses (Allo & Duo), and some new ones that noone uses. This pivoting is grating not great.
