Doorbell and Cameras require different Apps?

[Hatch1]

Why does my doorbell require being viewed and setup using the Nest App while the outdoor cameras I purchased required the Google Home app still?

I purchased all devices at the same time, last year. I had this issue when I set them up, but assumed it would be addressed as Google converted everything to Google Home, but I just had to re-add all my devices (network issue) and found I still have this issue! 

Is google ever going to make it so all devices work with a single app? 

Its also annoying seeing them even try to advertise any sub service to me when they cant even make the app experience work for me!

We purchased a battery camera in Sept. 2021. Google Nest is still using 2 apps:

Use the Google Home app to set up the following Nest cameras:

Nest Cam (wired)
Nest Cam with Floodlight
Nest Cam (battery)

Use the Nest app to set up the following Nest cameras:

Nest Cam IQ Indoor
Nest Cam IQ Outdoor
Nest Cam Indoor
Nest Cam Outdoor
Nest Dropcam (all models)
