I'm not sure if calling Kubernetes a strategic mistake is real.
The fight over container orchestration was not over until everyone felt safe and could trust it. Development experience, features etc did play a role as well, but it probably couldn't win it alone. CNCF played a huge role to its widespread success if you don't count early adopters.
I'm not sure if this is a right move after all the support that Google did put behind CNCF.
I personally would be more happy to see Google being more transparent with their intends instead of saying it's all about trademark management.
