Does this have any impact on Google Duplex-like services? That was the thing that enabled Pixel users to ask Google Assistant to call a restaurant and make a reservation on their behalf, etc.

unsolicited. If the business has a contract with Google, Google can update the contact to say that they're allowed to.
That doesn't seem like a good idea. If Google/Microsoft really want to, they could get a big chunk of small businesses to allow them to do this. However there would be no way to build a competing service.
I feel like robocalls made on behalf of actual consumers in relation to actual b2c transactions should be allowed.
