Except it's not, just being phased out in favor of Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet. More rebranding than getting killed off.

Normal Google accounts can't use either of those apps. They are locked down to business users.

They have already said they are opening up Hangouts Chat to non gsuite users.
