It was such a bizarre choice, I don't understand. Why wouldn't they want new businesses to come to them first? Naming a company often involves getting a domain and then paying for hosting, email, and/or other services. This all makes me think gsuite will be next on the chopping block.

GSuite is the most profitable part of GCP, and it's totally propping that division up. It'll be the last to go - it's a lot easier to recognize bad management.
Domains probably was expensive to maintain or understaffed for some reason, and some exec knew a guy a Squarespace.
I don't see how domains going away would suggest Google suite is near the chopping block. I doubt many major customers of GSuite even bothered with Domains. It was such a a small and bare bones business, pretty unrelated to the rest of GSuite.
