Definitely think it’s a PR issue. Many Google teams haven’t yet acclimated to folks assuming ill vs. good intent by default. It’s also a reminder that people hold Google to a higher standard, which though it can be frustrating, should ultimately give Googlers tremendous pride.
There's a legacy way of working that some folks prefer where feature developers lock themselves in a room and ship whatever the folks who *happen* to be in the room understand to be good.

That way of working puts consensus formation at the very front of any public engagement. It has been our experience that this is a reliable recipe for making expensive mistakes.
