Probably because of the ML processing (event recognition), which is the only good reason to subscribe to Nest/Google home in the first place. Otherwise, you just have streams of video without much context. If the analysis could be done on device, then that would be a different story.
Unfortunately, either Ring or Nest is required in my neighborhood given our property crime issues.

What do you do with that footage? I have a full resolution video of a dude stealing $300 worth of crabbing equipment from my porch. What’s next? Police is not going to do anything about it even though there’s probably technically a way to track him down.
The footage isn't that useful. Instead, I use it for real time intevention ("Hey! Get away from my car!") or just awareness that something is going on.
