Unfortunately cloud domains domains are going to managed by Squarespace.

That's fine, though. AWS Route53 uses a number of third-party registrars like Gandi.
Google Cloud Domains as a product will continue to function but it’ll be an interface to Squarespace: Squarespace will be the registrar.

“Yes, you can continue to search and register for new domains using Cloud Domains. After migration, Google Cloud becomes a reseller of Squarespace Domains. When you buy new domains using Cloud Domains after migration, the registrar of record is Squarespace.”

The least bad outcome.
