Google Home Assistant integration with Hubitat - Rooms

Hello,
I'm a new user of Hubitat and so far I'm really excited by the depth of customization available on this platform. Slightly disappointed by my current IKEA remotes being rendered useless due to some Zigbee compliance problems, but overall everything works nice. I hooked it all to Google Home now, and I have one question about this integration - why Rooms that are defined in Hubitat are not properly migrated to Google Home? I'd expect this to somehow match but instead I need to assign each device from Hubitat to corresponding room in GH and I can see this being problematic as the number of devices grow. I guess it's usually a one time work, but I wonder what about moving some devices between rooms and the added synchronization work needed. Is this a technical limitation of GH API that disallows assigning rooms automatically?

HE rooms are still in the โ€œformativeโ€ stage so their ultimate functionality and final implementation are still speculative. No sense in trying to align them with another platform if they could change completely in the next releases.

Ok that explains it! So it's not some final decision or technical obstacle that's impossible to overcome, just something that's in progress, gives hope it will not always be like this.

Thanks a lot for quick reply!

I have a hunch that Google rooms are not integratable anyway. I've never had any system with rooms that Google takes any notice of.
