I'm not a huge fan of voice either, but I find this stat fascinating. Why wouldn't Google just put one in every home for free. Who would go Amazon at that point (not to say one is better than the other).

People who want to buy things other than nexus phones? Google isn't a retailer of anything except their own hardware as far as I know. Is something very different in the USA on this front?

I should have clarified better - who would go to Amazon for their voice products, e.g., Alexa

For that I have no idea. I don't understand why anyone would have voice products in their house. If google gave me a free home mini I would drop it in the bin without a second thought.
