> Google dropped their “don’t be evil” motto for a very damn good reason

They didn't drop it though.

>> "And remember… don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up!"

They replaced it with “Don’t be not okay.”

You're right - but they certainly deemphasised it. Compare to an earlier version where it's the first three words: https://web.archive.org/web/20160202030302/https://abc.xyz/i...

The press at the time ran articles like "Google Removes 'Don't Be Evil' Clause From Its Code Of Conduct" (https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2018/05/google-removes-dont-be-ev...), even though they mention keeping that mention at the end.
