Google Local Questions & Answers Feature Gone?

It seems the Google Search local feature that showed Questions and answers on local panels is no longer working for most businesses. I know Google disabled them in India , but they worked fine everywhere else. Greg Gifford spotted this first and posted about this on X and I can confirm, that for most (virtually all), I cannot trigger the Q&A box in the local panel.

I know it use to work for a query on Googleplex - see my screenshot : But now, nope, it does not show: I was able to trigger them for some local businesses: Joy Hawkins also noticed they went away: Q&A appears to be gone in search from local knowledge panels. Still seeing it on Google Maps. h/t @GregGifford pic.
