Incredible, with three letters, you managed to derail an entire discussion about an incredibly important topic concerning Google's engineering decisions that will affect billions. If you were paid by a PR firm you couldn't have done it better.
To be honest, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if this entire subthread was mostly PR firm manufactured and designed to drown discussion and outrage about a topic Google knows is going to be bad for it.
A telltale sign of a manipulation campaign is when someone says something outrageous in a way that doesn't make sense and it gets pushed to the front of the discussion. Especially when that discussion will likely be bad for a major corporation. It's not a 100% accurate detector, but it works a lot better than being a rube.
