The mission statement in "To “empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.”"

Which is not just anodyne, it's generic to the point of meaninglessness.

Those are just fancy words for "improve productivity for businesses and users", which is not that generic.
It sounds pretty generic for me. I mean, Google sells productivity tools and services. "Improving productivity" is just table stakes, not something that's a useful mission statement. Vague or overly broad mission statements are pretty much the same as no mission statement at all.
