The bit that kills me is that “make Google Chat not suck” doesn’t seem to be in the list of options for addressing this problem at all. I work for a company that uses GSuite and chat is universally loathed with a bunch of Slack instances running around the company, both sanctioned and unsanctioned. If they spent time working to improve chat, the momentum of being a GSuite company would carry the rest of the weight here. It doesn’t have to be better than Slack, just closer.
hahah thats exactly what this is. they got caught with their pants down on slack and now theyll never get market share.

or they’re trying to turn (g)mail into a shitty, high-latency, unreliable alternative to imessage.
Still sounds better than iMessage 🤷♂️
