Google has breached our trust:
Forced Migration: I were given no choice or "opt-out" toggle, unlike users in other regions.
Feature Parity: Gemini lacks the "intent-matching" speed of the previous system, making basic home safety (lights/locks) unreliable.
Financial Loss: I are paying an annual subscription for a "smart" ecosystem that has effectively become "less smart" and more latent due to the Gemini "wrapper."
Features like simple continued conversation for chained actions no longer works. one must pay $10/month for continued conversation (and it doesn't work with device control). I was not informed that continued conversation will no longer work, and that a fee is now required. This forced migration is a breach of trust.
