I actually dug out my old Nexus One last week because I had an idea for a project and yeah, can't do anything on that phone anymore. It still connects to my WiFi, but it can't open Google play any more and of course there are no updates available to make it work. Most websites don't open in the browser.

Funnily enough, Google maps still work. I'm impressed that their APIs have remained the same for a very long time now.

And yes, I can probably still install APKs manually or find a custom firmware with more modern version of Android where Google play will work. But that requires certain amount of skill and time, so for most owners this phone is only slightly more functional than a dumbphone.
