Avoiding the humiliation of senate subpoenas seems to be motivating the most recent rash of FAANG restructurings. No founder, deserved or otherwise, would willingly subject themselves to the indignation of senators making names for themselves. Google saw the stitches on the fast ball and had Pichai prepped and ready go, but apparently Mr. Dorsey and Mr. Zuckerberg were far more confident, and the results of their testimony spoke for itself.

Or maybe just doing their job.

Nobody elected the leaders of big tech and its more than reasonable to hold them to account.
