Google/Nest created an API for developers to use with an associated slogan to for marketing if end-user devices which people buy with a 10+ year plan of ownership because it’s built into their bloody homes.
That obligates Google to keep this stuff working for 10+ years, as is, no weasel words. No exceptions. Anything else is a scam.
Edit: looking at Google’s history they clearly don’t have the intention nor ability to do this. Im not buying anything Nest/Google Assistant ever. I’m not interested in time-bombed devices.
