Engineering quality is about nothing other than meeting the spec- how well does google accomplish that?

It sounds like you have some issues with the design itself, maybe some issues with the business practices. Those are issues with the spec, not the engineering. The engineering team delivers the spec, they do it smoothly, they do it at scale

Highly used? So what? Might does not make right. They're definitely not cost efficient. Google's standard play is throwing tens of millions of dollars at a problem, which is not good engineering, even if it works.

Edit: you changed your comment out from under me and I fail to rouse the enthusiasm to reply to your new comment.
