At the very least we know that there's a team in Google that chose to build an AI supercomputer with non-Google hardware. They didn't, or wouldn't, work with the TPU team to do it, or they did and the TPU team couldn't get it to work. Or they could but something still made nVidia hardware more compelling. Every level of management involved were persuaded that this was the case even knowing it would send a message to people outside of Google about TPUs.

Andnfrom.all that we're meant to say it infers nothing about TPUs?
