Sure, my point is that only a googler would even consider this kind of breaking change as a sensible option. People in the real world with regular code tooling would reject the proposal before it got started.

The analogy to Angular that others have made is spot on. It's not just first-mover disadvantage. Google has particular blind spots for certain pain points, like deprecating APIs. Also q.v. Google Cloud.
