> Germany has retired the official bluetooth contact tracing app earlier this year. I wouldn't be surprised if Google retires theirs this year or the next.

Google does not have their own app. Exposure Notifications is the cross-vendor low-level API which apps like Germany's is (...was) using.

Yeah, someone else pointed that out on another comment and I wasn't aware of that before. However it seems like most countries with apps built on this API seem to have given up on public contact tracing and sunset their apps so the API might go away sooner rather than later.
