Will Google Home support Zigbee in the future?

I think this would be a major step forward in the Smarthome world because manufacturers of smart devices no longer have to make their own hubs/gateways. No one wants 3 different hubs to push firmware updates to the devices. If Google would implement a Zigbee Hub into their Home products, startups can focus on making smart devices.

Not likely as such but the SmartLink for nVidia shield does connect to smart home things via ZWave and Zigbee and can integrate with Nest products with some hacking. The shield has google assistant accessible via the controller.
