Gmail app in particular has been basically abandoned for the last 4+ major android versions. I only really use it for my work email on a Shelter profile since it's just to handle urgent stuff if I'm afk. But even that minimal use has me about ready to install k-9 on the work profile too.
Maybe my memory is bring foiled by nostalgia, but i honestly remember the Gmail Inbox app being better than the current Gmail app. Clearly google can output a good UI, they just 100% choose not to.
The built-in email app for an OS doesnt have to be amazing, but it at least needs to be reasonable. iOS Mail isn't amazing either, but compared to the Gmail app it's a feature-packed power user tool.
Inbox was by far the best thing Google have done with email. Still waiting on features they had unique to that app.
They are blind and lost. Nest hasn't had a feature update since they acquired them 10 years ago. Their thermostats don't even have a "its freezing outside and the air conditioner shouldn't run" feature. Fi rots on the vine. Their camera service is terrible and they just raised the rates. Garbage company anymore.
