I think you are arguing that this is more straightforward than it really is. If we suppose (in absence of her actual email) that she declared "...make x, y, and z happen or I resign", that certainly reads as a (conditional) offer of resignation that can be accepted by the other party.

All of this is likely to end up in court and we'll get a decision on whether it was a resignation or firing.

She shared what she says is Google's response.[1]

"However, we believe the end of your employment should happen faster than your email reflects because certain aspects of the email you sent last night to non-management employees in the brain group reflect behavior that is inconsistent with the expectations of a Google manager."

That isn't accepting previously offered conditions. I agree what it means legally will probably end up in court.
