OP is saying it’s a systemic issue spanning multiple industries, hence the article focusing on Google alone does somewhat feel like a hit piece.

The tech industry is wildly profitable, though, and Google the most profitable among the industry. I don't really think it's a hit piece to single out one of the most successful companies in the world and ask why they don't do more.

How dare they use a compelling example to demonstrate a problem.

Seriously. As an avid NYtimes loyalist, I'd prefer they exhaustively enumerate through EVERY company where contractors outnumber FTEs. And then I want an equal amount of coverage distributed over all companies.
