After following this nonsense product timeline for 16 years from the original Google Talk days, my last chat thread still using Hangouts moved to Facebook Messenger. chat.google.com is just aggressively worse in far too many ways, and will surely be killed circa 2024.

I doubt it. Google Chat is Google's enterprise product offering like Microsoft's skype.
Yeah, at our company we have actually used Google Chat somewhat succesfully as main tool for internal communication
They could improve Chat a lot if they just cared to do native clients. Seriously, how many developers would that require? Like three for macOS, and the same for Windows and Linux?
I much preferred it to gmail, and I was not happy when they discontinued it
