I think Google just realized the path they were taking was too short. They underestimated the nest contingent which is funny considering how much data they collect.
It seems like product management and engineering wanted to do it quickly and didn't do enough customer homework.
Then they had to backtrack, still sounding like douches because of their "if we change our minds we will keep you informed" tidbit.
I'm genuinely curious about their Alexa support through the transition. Seems they are willing to give away customers who want nest and nothing else.

It sounds like they're going to keep a tight control of their relationship with Amazon on this one - I imagine the negotiations are going to be extremely tedious.
