The issue is that the biggest evangelists and the CEO's and CFO's and CTO's with paid google accounts (which at that level you want so you can have some confidence in service) can't get their calendars on their home devices. So it's not an issue of multiple accounts, but paid accounts not working.
After 8 years of folks asking for this we got https://services.google.com/fb/forms/googleassistantforgsuit...
How in the world is this so hard? I look forward to checking out the link, it needs to be more than multiple accounts, it needs to support PAID workspaces accounts.
I've just been around this again though with google family accounts, I couldn't accept the invite. And it hits you everywhere.
That said, there is no question that things rot at google.
One thing other companies do but google does not - listen to customers just a bit.
My favorite is of course, google home can't get gsuite calendars, but I can setup alexa to get them fine (so whatever technical / secuirty argument there might be doesn't really hold).
This has been a top request for years? I wouldn't be surprised if it turns into a decade. Zero action.
This is just throughout things - they do the 90% solution, and WILL NOT touch the 10% you stub your toes on. If they just would tweak and fix a few things ANNUALLY they'd be very competitive.
