So... the US government doesn't have to fund it anymore? So that is an advantage for them in this situation, what is the disadvantage? Or was that their goal all along?
It reportedly works entirely on your machine (as it meant to be privacy preserving by default). So it will probably see only the data you can see.

I kind of understand your frustration, because it is indeed neither true E2EE (some server holds encryption keys) nor interoperable (you need to use Google service), but let's remember that is it is meant for businesses, not private interpersonal communication. So the goal is not strictly "no one should be able to read this except Alice and Bob", but rather "no one outside Alice's and Bob's organizations can read this message". We all want to live in an ideal world that mails are encrypted using some PGP-style protocol, but as an article points out - this is just nightmare to set up.

Imagine a website showing a weather forecast. Maintainers of this page are running a webserver and a service that analyse raw meteorological data to calculate tomorrow's weather. In exchange they are making money out of ads.
Now there is an AI agent that enters that page on behalf of user, gets the forecast and show it back to user. User never sees an ad, maintainer never sees his revenue. How is that not stealing?
But it's still possible, right? It's just a matter of doing something in one second versus several?
Naah, boring
