I can only speak for myself. I have Google Fi service. One of the big selling points for me is the dead simple billing. Another huge selling point is trivial unification of calling and messaging across devices. The latter feature has been enabled by Hangouts up until now. Now, it seems to be equally fulfilled by Messages. I'm not losing other Messages features, as I've never used them. I'll get to keep my unified calling and messaging across devices. I am relatively happy. I'd prefer no change, but it's been clear that Hangouts would go away for some time now.
