(Former Googler here. There's no individual executive.)

People who comment on Google's lack of human support ignore the fact that it's a virus that's engulfed the whole online world. Almost every large company has automated chatbots, voice response systems, FAQs, and every imaginable way to avoid paying human beings who know things. And let's not even talk about whether they're empowered to actually do things for you.

Google could certainly lead and maybe the rest of the world would have to follow. Maybe.
