It's crazy, man. I'd expect it from Microsoft, but it blows me away that Google went this route

Facebook went from ZERO firmware expertise to where they are today. They're still asking idiotic, irrelevant leetcode questions and filtering out a lot of good hardware/firmware people, but it's entirely possible that in a few years they'll actually have a world class device team up and running.

Maybe Google was just too short-sighted. They kept trying to jimmy VR into all the world's low-quality phones, and then gave up really quickly after that proved unworkable.
