Google did not completely destroy Nest, but rather integrated the formerly independent Nest brand and ecosystem directly into Google's core hardware and software division (transitioning products from the legacy Nest app into the unified Google Home ecosystem). While this consolidation faced initial user friction regarding account migrations, discontinued legacy hardware support, and app transitions, the strategic goal was to unify smart home device management under the broader Google Nest and Matter automation standards.
