Do you think issue at google is not knowing about/not using the proper tools?

No, the issue is that the incentives are wrong (features, features, features for promotion) and indeed the engineers (on average) are not that talented.

Features (user tracking and fancy options) over stability.

Why do we see the version of Chrome reaching 100 at a sustained pace, instead of seeing something like Chrome 8.X or 9.Y?

The pressure is all about introducing new features (and thus, more bugs!) while fixing the existing bugs slowly.

And we should stop thinking that all the brilliant minds are working at FAANG, because it isn't true.
