Google Earth is a fantastic computer program (which is being retired June 2027; stupid IMHO); Alphabet, Inc., wants you to instead "use the in-browser version of earth.google.com for a better experience." When I attempt to load earth.google.com it is total dogshit, just a terrible all-around experience (with glitches and an additional layer of obfuscation between map and browsing: a 3rd-party web browser). My RTX5070Ti renders everything so beautifully within the Google Earth program – smooth and fully-3D everything. The only reasoning I can muster is that it's harder to embed advertisements/tracking within the program (compared to the website interface); but when I cannot use the application anymore, I will no longer use Google Earth (entirely) – which is unfortunate because it is a fantastic resource (I have a computer dedicated almost-entirely to Google Earth tasks; it is the only machine in my office that can contact Google servers).
