Why should this be removed?

Author of the Google Photos integration here. Sadly Google will stop supporting the API I have been using for the integration without a real alternative. The API will be stopped end of march. I have been actively notifying users since September 2024 both on the repository and a native Home Assistant issue. I guess the best course of action is to also remove it from HACS at that time?

There is also a native Google Photos Integration since a couple of months, but it's functionality is not the same. The one I created can display any photo from a persons library, the native integration enables HA to store and retrieve photos, but is limited to the photos that have been uploaded by HA.
