It's totally endemic. If you work at Google, and can't recognize the smug, superior, yet incompetent culture, odds are you've be incultured.

It's not unique to Google. Lots of organizations intentionally build a culture of elitism. However, it means I would never, ever rely on Google for anything. Free products like search are a-okay. My email is on gmail because legacy.

Build a business on Google platforms? Nope.
