I don't think Google will shut down nest anytime soon. They gather very useful telemetry about their "customers" and use that data to train models, and ah-hoc send your front door video to law enforcement whenever they want it.
Perhaps, but there is absolutely no development or bug fixing happening on their software. There hasn't been a software update in years, and the hardware has been a crapshoot for just as long.
