I believe Sundar will be remembered as one of the weakest CEOs of his generation, and a person who caused actual harm to humankind by wasting one of the highest concentrations of talent (Google circa mid-2010s) that has ever existed. Imagine what these people could have achieved elsewhere if not lured by Google to be subjected to Sundar's incompetence.

This assumes that Google is able to identify the highest talent. Given the poor performance of the company (relative to its size and funding) and your point that they chose one of the weakest leaders to lead them, are they truly effective at choosing talent?
