You can actually still use google Home if you want to - it integrates well with Google Home and Alexa but is currently massively expanding their own voice assistant option.
Home Assistant is more a "background" integrator - it links up all you different smart home options, makes them thereby smarter and adds external data (e.g. weather, traffic,etc.) whenever you want. And of course enables you to easily add your own visualisation and your own automations.
It is on one side incredibly easy to "start". And on the other side incredibly powerful.
