Why is Google so stoopid when it comes to sharing photos?

I thought switching form an old LG G4 to a Pixel 6 Pro would be nothing but rainbows and ice cream. While a lot of things are better (it's SO much faster!), many things are just headscratchers.
One thing my LG did was remember my photo sharing habits, and present me with my most common methods (via Outlook Email, Textra text to common people) to make the process much faster. Google tries to do this. It presents me with a couple common choices, but that may only last a week, then it's as if I never used those before, and they disappear! For example, I share to myself via Outlook and via text message using Textra to my wife almost daily. One minute it will display "Note to Self" email to my email address next to my wife's Contact in Textra, but the next day, those are all gone, and Textra is at the bottom of the list of apps to chose to share with. A whole bunch of apps I never use are always at the top of the list. Is there any fix for this, or is Google just that stupid?
 
Probably just Google being dumb as usual, and I've had that issue with my current phone and my prior LG V60.

Though I must say that I'm impressed you got a G4 to last this long due to the design flaw it had with poor soldering.

Thought these things were supposed to "learn" our behavior and streamline common tasks? My LG certainly did.
The Motherboard was the only real problem (dreaded Boot Loop, happened 2X!), I replaced it in 2022. The only real improvement of the Pixel is speed. Everything else, including the software and camera, has been a step down. I miss the removable battery and SD card too :(.
