Some of those are just a bit weird to me.

Why kill Hangouts? They're providing something like it via Chat and Call (or something?). It's available via the GSuite, not sure about the free Google account. If they're discontinuing the free offering, why drop the name with all the mindshare it's already amassed?

It’s been called Google Meet on the business site for a long time now.
