Yah, I've played with that briefly once. Again, it's trying to do too much. And at the same time it's too limited. Not all shopping list are for groceries. The last things I want are recommendations, trackers or recipes. Even organization, because the app probably won't be able to guess right how to organize. For that use, I only want a simple text checklist, shared and synced. Nothing more.
Keep has basically been forgotten by Google. No new features, complications, or updates, almost since launch. I feel like that's one of its strengths. Nobody's trying to male it more powerful or fancy.
I've got similar requirements, and I'm still at least partially on Keep due to them. So far, the closest thing I've seen is Quillpad, and being able to stack it with Obsidian is an attractive feature, but the lack of nested checklists is a deal breaker for a few of my use cases.
And yes, I hate apps wanting to auto-categorize things for me, groceries, banking transactions, etc. I do 99% of my grocery shopping at one store, so I have a dedicated shopping list for it with categories set up to match the easiest path through the store that hits everything.
It's crazy to me that there aren't enough people living like that to make solutions for it ubiquitous...
