Why would the new flood light camera not work with the Nest App?

I've seen the answer and I cannot believe anyone thinks this is a good idea.  Wasted an hour trying to trouble-shoot on my own.  You guys are the smartest morons around.

Yep,  Your member name says it all.   None of the new cams, that have the name "NEST" on them work with the "NEST" app.  They only work with the barely usable GOOGLE HOME app.   Another big frustration for me is that none of the new cams are viewable on you computer.    I can't think of a better example of a product that has 2 steps forward and 20 steps backward.

yep it’s been horrible as people are slowly finding this out. The new Google Nest cameras released in Fall 2021 only work with the (very bad) Google Home app. Due to this Google Home app requirement, you also cannot access the camera video from a computer web browser at home.nest.com.
