Google Voice was never limited to gmail accounts only. I have always used my own domain for Google Voice.


You're confusing the issue and missing the point.   

You could always use any email address to set up a GV account, be it Yahoo or Hotmail or Google Apps.  The problem with doing that, in the past, was that your GV account was not integrated with the rest of your domain, including mail.  For example, GV contacts were not integrated with your Google Apps contacts.  For purposes of GV, Google treated Google Apps addresses as being no better than "foreign" addresses from Yahoo, etc.  There are a million old threads about this in the GV help forum.  Google Apps accounts are now treated identically to regular Gmail accounts (for most purposes), and everything is integrated.  This is a recent change; the availability of voice calling within the Google Apps mail window is just one new feature that came along with this massive structural shift that Google made.

The point is that there is no longer any reason to treat @gmail.com addresses as special.  They once were, but now Google Apps addresses are on equal footing.

I am not confusing anything. I know exactly what you are saying. My response was a direct reply to this statement.
There was a time (not long ago) when Google Voice only supported @gmail.com email addresses.

OBi-Guru:
Obihai listens to you, and would like to invite users wishing to use a non-gmail account with GV to test out a beta firmware.
Please send email to support@obihai.com with your OBi number (200 xxx xxx), and you'd need to add your device on OBiTALK portal.

Thank you!

I now have my Obi working with my non-gmail.com GV account.
