Just tested it and it seems to work normally on my Pixel 7.

6a. Works fine

Mine works very consistently. No complaints here.

Yeah it's a sketchy feature, sometimes works sometimes doesn't. Have Shazam as a backup. Use Shazam most the time...

Always crashes after trying to play song in your chosen streaming service (Deezer for me).

Doesn't cache prior results on phone so will take ages to reload from Google server. Nevertheless, one of my most used and pinned apps on my Pixel 7 Pro/Niagara.

I just wish that they would give it some love.

I didn't even know this feature existed.

6 pro has it show up most of the time I look. I've never tried to use it to play/buy music so no idea on that front.

I have noticed this too.

Meh. P7a. Never used it, except maybe a couple days when the phone was new. I don't let goog access my location, mike, or cam. They don't need to have any more tracking data on me.

I just look at the screen with my eyeballs...
