I feel like this would all be a little more interesting coming from a different username.

No, that's simply not true. Lots of things were "Just how things are" until enough people stood up and said "No". Googles' employees are actually using their privilege to try to make a high-profile stand. No idea if it will make a difference, but it is far better than not trying.
