Sounds like a Google thing to do. Remove features that were useful. Remember when Maps in Android Auto would give you addresses in your calendar or would recommend a destination based on your upcoming appointments? Now you have to tell it your destination or open the calendar app.
"Google stop tracking me!"
Google works hard to remove identifiable data
"Google removed features that required my identifiable data, those bastards!"
They could keep all of those features and then just have an override button to turn all of the features off for those who value their privacy.
They can recommend something that I put on my calendar myself. I already told them where I was going, they can put it on my maps. Now if I used a 3rd party calendar app and they started pulling from that without my consent it's another story.
