It seems to be in Google's vein. When they removed call recording API from Android, it was a sign they side with all sort of scammers. Call recording is an ultimate tool for fighting any scummy salesmen, especially from insurance companies. Probably they were starting to lose money and asked Google too remove call recording so customers can't defend themselves from predatory practices.
Seems more likely that they saw legal liability in states and countries that have a 2 party consent requirement for recording.
