GCP? Google Domains? Google Workspaces? Gmail? QUIC?

You can pay all you want and still be the product.

You don’t have to look too hard, though. Here’s one from 2017:

Too true. Not to mention that many of the APIs Google introduce are prone to tracking and spam.

I find this tweet about how Google approaches web standards illuminating. To quote:

> 1. design a flawed API (it's fine! APIs are hard)

> 2. ship it in the most-used browser, despite objections

> 3. get cross-browser working group to fix the API

> 4. oops, too late, that would break the web

At least you won't get your Google account banned over bogus copyright claims.

Good thing the web is still based on open standards instead of an (advertising) industry trend. We need more viable browser engines, not less.

The kind of changes that Screen Time requires spans the entire platform, which means that it can only be developed incrementally. It’s inevitably going to take years before all the “obvious” loopholes are closed, but it’s not because of some design flaw on Apple’s part.

That’s highly unlikely given the number of people working there.

Clearly you haven’t done professional software development before. There are so many big misses.
