    Looks like it got reverted as quietly as it was released, but here's a link with some info: https://9to5google.com/2020/04/10/gboard-google-logo-spacebar-android/ https://9to5google.com/2020/04/10/gboard-google-logo-spaceba...

    Googles companywide policy is to prominently display the Google logo whenever Googles AI or aggregate data is being used. It's part of their efforts to make the public understand that collecting aggregate data can benefit the public. The keyboard uses googles AI to predict words using their language modelling, hence why it needs to display the google logo. With the "G" button removed from the top left, they decided to brand the spacebar instead.
