I'm still in disbelief having heard this for the first time today.

It clearly reads as autogenerated reply. It seems ambiguous to me still whether it’s thinking you’re trying to move your domains to squarespace and wondering if google sill keep data or if it’s about them moving domains to squarespace.

Though I’m general I’d assume if you move all your domains out of Google Domains before the transition, there shouldn’t be anything for them to transfer to squarespace.

I didn't put my actual inquiry in the comment since it would have made it too long. But I wasn't asking them about moving to Squarespace, I was very clear that I am burning a bridge with both of them and have no interest in being a customer of either of them. I told them I've already moved my domains out of Google Domains, and I wanted to clarify if any historical data about me and my domains (domain ownership history, purchase history, receipts, etc) would go to Squarespace. And they replied with what I put in my comment.

If I consider their reply to me, and the stuff I'm reading in the link OP posted, this isn't really a "transition," Squarespace is just buying the rights to all 10M+ domains Google Domains owns. But if Google Domains doesn't own a domain anymore, it won't be part of that transaction.

That's what I gathered, anyway. Hopefully they can be less ambiguous before the transaction actually happens. It will probably take the better part of a year, so there is plenty of time.
