Google says Pixel Tablet is NOT a Nest Hub replacement (but it kinda is)

[AC News]

If it looks like a Nest Hub, and it acts like a Nest Hub, it's not a Nest Hub. At least that's what Google wants us to believe when it comes to the Pixel Tablet.

IMO, Google is just gaslighting everyone by claiming that the Pixel Tablet is not a Nest Hub replacement.

Exhibit A: charging base included with purchase
Exhibit B: optional case offers no protection for the screen and has some goofy chrome kickstand (this case is NOT for taking the Google Tablet outside of the home)
Exhibit C: No first party folio case or keyboard option

I would argue that Google just focused on tablets as a consumption device. It also added the Hub function that makes the Nest Hub obsolete. I cannot see people buying both. Why would they do that?
I am happy that there is no keyboard accessory. A tablet should stay a tablet, this is at least my opinion.

I already have a Nest Hub Max, and the Lenovo Smart Tab w/Google Assistant that I bought to replace my old Pixel C tablet is at death's door. So I need a new tablet, and of course the Pixel Tablet it is. I'll probably move the Nest Hub Max up to my master bathroom, where I currently have a Nest Hub second gen for video and an OG Home speaker for audio.

I cannot see people buying both. Why would they do that?
