I'm on a similar path, huge Google fan for 20 years. Something has happened under Sundar and Kurian (cloud), maybe some insiders will comment to let us know. What I see is slop across every product line, I assume from over indexing on Ai with insufficient HITL around a model family that is not as good at agentic.
Haven't made it all the way, but I was able to find a way to downgrade my Google One back to the $2/m for extra storage. YouTube will remain to avoid ads. Everything else has been switched or is being worked on, but after 20 years it takes longer than I imagined. I'm giving up tap to pay and headed towards GrapheneOS instead of Apple, where your going to get Gemini a la Siri. OpenCode Go, Fireworks, and OEM Spark for my llms. Still looking for my cloud provide, leaning towards digital ocean.
