This is just how businesses evolve. Early Google was driven by founder vision and engineering excellence. They wanted to build something better than everything else.

Now, those visionaries are gone. Google is run by managers focused on efficiency. Why maintain a massive, costly index when a smaller, cheaper one generates just as much revenue?

Their visions are gone but they are still there - they just have planes to fly around in, yachts to sail on and interns to sleep with instead of "doing no evil"
