This is a terrible take. Ilya staying is the only thing that is basically guaranteed. Everything else isn’t. In addition, no one is irreplaceable.

How is that guaranteed? If investors remove him from board of directors, he may get pissed off and quit, no?

In theory, maybe. In practice, it is not always easy. Nearly a year after ChatGPT came out Google hasn't been able to catch up. If it was easy to replace Ilya after he left Google, they would have caught up by now.
