Nest Hello Doorbell Delaminating - I called customer service and was hung up on

I was one of the first to purchase the wired Nest Hello doorbell in 2018 - I remember my pre-order being delayed. 

Fast forward to 2019 and 2020 and I noticed the front delaminating. I assumed it would "fix itself", but alas, no luck. (You know, maybe flake off so much it looks like new again?)

I called in today to inquire about a possible replacement. I was told the product was out of warranty and I was out of luck. This was after I needed to pull the camera off and provide the serial number, then provide a photo. Google happily has that information - I feel a bit like a product tester!

This issue has been reported many times throughout the last few years. It appears sometimes the Google support rep helps and provides a replacement, and sometimes not. 

In my case, not only was I not able to get a replacement, but the rep hung up on me. "I have other customers that need my assistance, so I will end this call. Have a good day." Click. 

It's one thing to not do the right thing (can I mention here Schlage has a lifetime finish warranty?). If it bothers me enough, I can buy a new Nest cam or a competitor. But to actually be hung up on. That's the bothering part here. 

I have 4 new Nest floodlights I bought in the last 30 days still not installed. Maybe I'll return these as I don't want the trouble.
