I don't think it's even enshittification (probably costs more to run than Assistant), it's just Google desperate to find a use for its new AI.

I was thinking about this while posting and absolutely agree.

It just boils down to how enshittification is defined though, and using ai for everything (where it might not fit or degrade a service) might possibly be valid too.
