The demo video on this post is excellent and really illustrates the potential for robotics, simulation, and animation/games. Great for sharing with anyone non-technical.
Check out Adam's "What if infrastructure as code never existed" talk from a month or two ago. Great framing for SI and entertaining.

Mentioned elsewhere, but Groups is a core part of their business offering. It's how lists and permissions get set up in lots of orgs using Google for enterprise email, docs, etc. View it as an extension of that and you can understand why consumer facing features seem stagnant.
Until a better library comes out, I'd highly recommend using Layercake with Sveltekit. It's a wrapper around D3 which allows you to build reusable components that are responsive and can load server side without JS on the client. It's not as plug and play as some libraries, but it's not too bad, and gives you a lot more customization options:
I sent their team an email two years ago with exactly that feedback, and their response was:

See my post above how I am able to bookmark the site after I choose the settings I want and it remember these choices when I visit again.
If you bookmark the website after you have zoomed in on your area and toggled settings (unchecked indoor sensors, LRAPA), it will remember your settings.
Seriously. My partners school was saying they will open this week (on top of COVID, of all things) if the AQI is not in the red. The sensor they're using is indoor. This website is actively doing harm with these configurations, granted, so is the school administration.
COVID is bringing out the worst in all parts of our society. It has been such a stressful time, and I am someone who has some financial security. I can't imagine how tough things are on the average American right now.
Stay strong everybody. We will make it out of this.
They did discuss the case of an alarm becoming more insistent if a pilot didn't notice it. I think it's a small hop from that to "We will only charge you for the ads that people notice in our ad supported VR game" type stuff.
I assume you could also use this for ad targeting if you could get people to watch the right content with their brain reading VR helmets on. "This person focused a bit more on the Cadillac driving through the screen than is typical. Let's show them a Cadillac ad."
