Is there hope for integration with Google Play Music?

Originally I had envisioned that the integration of Alexa and Sonos would have Alexa handle the voice commands while Sonos would do the work integrating with your music services. Because Sonos is music service agnostic I had hope that they would support Google Play Music. But now, if I'm understanding, Alexa is handling the voice commands AND integration and the Sonos speaker is essentially just acting like a speaker. in other words, it would be up to Amazon to create the Google Play Music integration. I have much less confidence that Amazon will let Google play in their pool.

Can anybody offer clarity on who is doing what and whether competitor services (specifically Google Play) are likely to be integrated?

      Sonos has stated they are partnering with Google to bring the Google Assistant voice control services to Sonos. I imagine this would include a way to conrtol Google Play Music.

      on Android you can stream to sonos speaker directly from the Google Play Music App without using the Sonos App. Sonos appears as a speaker already like a Google Audio or Video Cast

      (Randomly) play all songs of an artist? Nope.
      (Randomly) play all songs of a genre? Nope.
      (Randomly) play all my favorites ("thumbs up")? Nope.
      Search a song, an album or an artist? At least missing on iOS app.

      All of these are possible. Don't know what you are doing wrong, but I'm able to do these easily.
