It's 2020. What happened to Gboard's "federated learning"?

It's 2020 and Gboard's swiping is still awful. That is, it was amazing when it was Google Keyboard, and then it just went downhill from there.

It definitely did exist, but everyone has forgotten about this feature: https://www.google.com/search?q=gboard+federated+learning+site:www.reddit.com

Any ideas, perhaps from someone that works on Gboard?

Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but
