It's ludicrous to lay this at the feet of individual employees and assert that they're all just lazy with no drive etc.

Google has severe cultural problems and the responsibility for that should be assumed by the leadership.

I did not.

That said, it is up to the individual to work at Google or not, so it's not like they are a self-selecting population of maximally driven people. At least not the recently-joined folks.

By and large, Google is branded as the company people choose to go and coast maximally recently.
