It's cases such as these invalidate the "they're not acting with malice". Thousands of google employees see this stuff, and are clearly being told they can't talk about it.

You haven't applied Hanlon's Razor properly. They're just coordinating incompetence that they find beneficial, not being malicious.

If you are coordinating the incompetence then you are malicious even if the incompetent are not.

Someone in authority said or inferred some version of "don't talk about this, don't get involved". That's malicious.

I think it's more likely that no one wanted to take ownership of it, so no one did.

Sufficiently weaponized incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

The act of weaponizing incompetence is itself malicious.
