Google's displays are fairly decent. No ads, can cast Home Assistant dashboards onto them (with functional touch), and the 1st gen hubs sell for around ~$30 and 2nd gen around ~$50.

Yeah, they are generally better but Ring and Alexa Skills are better than their Google counterparts (at least the last time I checked).

I actually have a few old Nest hubs sitting in the basement…

I rely on HA pretty heavily for everything, and that covers anything I'd want out of Alexa and more.
