Two points...
1) The thing is, why make things more complex than the need to be? Apparently the Nest isn't quite the big deal they made it out to be since sales haven't skyrocketed. Possibly a whole lot more of the great <for some value of "great> IoT stuff will follow this and die off.
2) As for the furor over Resolv... that's just part of the history of Google and when I think about it, MS also. Buy a company and dump products and people.
