I wonder if they gave any of the hardware vendors who proudly advertised, "Google Cloud-Print Ready" on the side of the box more advanced notice than this.
For a device you already bought? Not really. How often do you replace your printer?
If you rely on GCP for your home/home-office/small business, you might be a little peeved to discover that your several-hundred-dollar printer might be reduced to a "dumb"/local-only printer next year because the manufacturer decided to rely on a closed-source third-party service for what you consider core functionality of your printer.
