That may be true, but my point is that Sonos has a good relationship with Apple (unlike Google) so perhaps they can get a deal whereby Homepod could sync with Sonos sub mini.
Got a tip for us?

How to group HomePod and Sonos speakers for multi-speaker surround sound
Just got a Sonos or HomePod? Thanks to AirPlay 2, they can talk to each other for proper surround sound!www.imore.com
Has anyone tried this? How is the experience? I’m considering getting the new HomePod, but only if it integrates well with the Sonos system. I love their speakers (especially with Spotify connect) but when I use AirPlay with them, it’s a less than favorable experience. Is it going to be the same with a HomePod + Sonia system?
Not that friendly

Got a stereo pair of Sonos Era 300s today and while the Atmos music is IMPRESSIVE, I absolutely hate using Sonos's app over the Apple Music app. far less intuitive and i have no idea what's atmos or not until i hit play. Still tempted to stick with my gen 2 HPs.
From reviews I've seen such as smart home sounds, the 300s are substantially better than homepod. But of course they are far more expensive so they should sound better. The homepods are closer to the 100s but somewhat better sounding.
I'd be a bit cautious about the 300s, only because some reviewers say it has a very different sound, highly geared toward Atmos and home theater setups. So for about the same price, pair of 100s plus a sub mini could possibly be a better setup if you don't care for Atmos.
