I feel like the title is misleading. The speakers are getting worse because Google is too greedy to pay for the patent that they have been using without paying until now. Whether that patent is useful is a different question, but the headline makes it sound like Sonos is the aggressor here. But Google chose to do things this way, and Sonos then reacted.
