You might be right, but other things from Google tell the same story. For example, I recently tried to get ahold of Pixel 8 Pro. Had to import one from UK, and when I did, turns out that new feature of using thermometer on humans isn't available outside of USA. It doesn't even seem that process to certificate it outside of USA is in play. Google and sales/support just aren't a thing like with Apple, as a contrast. Which is a total shame. I know Google is strong, if not strongest in the game of tech, they just need to get their act together and I believe in them succeeding in that, but sales and support was never in their DNA. Not sure if that can be changed. I'm more than happy to transfer my monthly $20 to google from OpenAI, on top of my youtube and google one subscription. It's up to Google to take it.
