if you know the history of Google's product launches (virtually all of them have failed/were killed, only successful products are search/ads and acquired products like youtube, maps, etc) - you will understand why they hire 9 mo for simple PM role

To me, that history seems to indicate that the 9 month process is effective at making unwanted products. What am I missing?

You are not missing much, Broken Hiring process & broken incentives to launch whatever in order to get promoted == status quo at Google with its products
