Nobody can get promoted for improvements like that. It would only garner goodwill with a tiny customer base and it’s not clear how that would translate to revenue or user growth on other products

Totally agree, but I kinda feel (and this is solely my opinion) that much as it's our collective responsibility to donate to worthwhile causes, gigantic tech companies should spend rounding-error money on good digital causes like this.
But there do seem to be quite a few people at Google already working on random stuff that won't get them promoted.
