I work in TensorFlow with some regularity, and I've seen explicit examples of what the author of the article talks about where Googlers get used to their own stack (See eg: https://github.com/abseil/abseil-py/issues/99#issuecomment-4... vs what is considered standard Python practice https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/26691#issuec... )

That said, I also see the opposite when this gets some traction with "normal users". The Abseil issue was fixed, and the TensorFlow 2.0 release did make TensorFlow more usable by smaller teams in many situations.
