This is a dang shame, honestly. The Google Earth Pro desktop app is a good one and I still use it all the time.

Of note: Google Earth on web[0] and mobile are unaffected. According to the announcement, the Google Earth Pro desktop app will continue working after the June 25, 2027 cutoff date, but new downloads will not be offered.
