Not now but at other workplaces. I was at one that had an all hands meeting every 2 weeks, the issue came up that “we can’t find anything”, the solution was “let’s add a new place to hide documents.” I tried to bring up the nonsensical nature of this, but people never wised up. Having ‘one ring to organize them all’ is a more promising solution but isn’t this an existential risk to the google docs, notions, confluences, etc?

What do you mean by "one ring to organize them all"?
also, just curious why isn't it a challenge now (presumably at your current workplace)?

We are well disciplined. We've been publishing open data for 75 years, we are an academic-adjacent organization, not a startup.
The "one ring to organize them all" is an "enterprising finding engine" as opposed to an "enterprise search engine". That is, an enterprise search engine built by people who think search quality matters and might also have some other navigation options.
