>Who would go Amazon at that point

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.
