Google Translation never "became very good" and it still isn't when you compare it to DeepL or Kagi.
Where it excels is quantity. Often, niche languages are only available on Google Translate.
Google Translate became very good compared to what came before it. Other stuff is better now and one day we will say the tools of today are trash.
