Was there any talk of Android 12 widgets of Google apps being available on previous Android versions, too?

Wondering if Google, once they redesign all their widgets, will also make the new widgets available on older Android versions, like Android 10 and Android 11, or make them exclusive to Android 12 and just keep the old widgets if their apps are installed on older versions of Android.

I pressume third-party developers will make the new widgets for their apps also available on older supported Android versions. There wouldn't be much benefit for them in keeping two separate sets of widgets.

Android 12 is a while redesign but I think 3rd parties would adapt their widgets over time to the new style. Not sure if they will make it available for Android 10 or 11 though

A month and a half later, seems like Android 12 widgets are coming to previous versions of Android, too. Of course, depends on the app and its developer. Google apps do bring their redesigned widgets to older versions of Android, as far as I've seen on an Android 10 device.
