I still maintain the reason they're playing catch-up with everyone else wrt. LLMs is because their Gemini models were not available in the EU until recently. Back when they were doing their releases, years ago, like everyone else here I took one look, saw the "not available in your country" banner, and stopped caring at all.
That's because normal people are supposed to use the Gemini chat interface, which has access to the same image generation model as ImageFX, and I'd imagine video is coming.
