I don't see it as a law of nature that "Google" has to have a plain search field forever. The world around it changes. Back in the 90s Google proved you could make "all" available better via search than the Yahoo catalog a d thus became the landing page. Nowadays the pure search bar is integrated into the browsers addressbar and Google as starting page has been replaced with Twitter/X, Reddit, news sites, .. and Google has to find something to become the start page again.
