I think you're misreading his comment. And your followon comment is showing your assumptions:
>If you take the engineer off the hook because “they can’t change things,”
He never said this, and in my reading is not trying to say this. What I read him trying to say is:
"Quitting is not the only way to handle the problem."
Or the harsher:
"The solution is not to run away from the problems."
More or less the equivalent of:
"If the US is going downhill, the solution isn't to run away from the country, but work to fix it"
As an engineer you're part of the company. And putting a recent unfortunate case aside, Google is relatively open to engineers voicing their opinions. If you're fatalistic or meek, sure, you can leave. But that's the weakest of all options.
