Sometimes it's not very clear what I really want when typing.

Also, Google Search's AI answer doesn't prevent the actual search results from still showing below; so if I later realize I need those (search results) instead, they're already there.

Also, I use browsers all the time, so typing things into the location bar is quicker than deliberately opening the Gemini app/website or whatever.

I value one fewer click/action a lot when such an action will be performed hundreds of times a day.
