And they still own YouTube, don’t forget.

They could have done literally nothing and ended up in a preferable position to today. It blew immeasurable goodwill and burned whole teams of developers.

(And by some stories I heard, “literally nothing” might even have been Pichai’s approach had it been his choice.)
