Google is a trillion dollar company that employs some of the best software developers on earth. I have zero sympathy.

Sort your shit out or prepare to have hostile regulators take a bat to your business model.

Considering both the wealth and caliber of engineering talent at Google, for this feature that has been at the center of attention for both regulators and the public to be as user hostile as it is, it certainly can lead a reasonable person to think that Google is intentionally misleading and confusing its users.

It seems the primary question worth considering now is what regulators are to do in response.
