> The fact that Pixel was in another division was always weird

Was there a mechanism to communicate this weirdness to decision-makers? In a company that is in control of all of its teams, what is stopping a faster reorg?

- too many managers risking being spotted as obviously redundant as a result of a reorg :)

What else?

Yes this was a well understood phenomenon. These sorts of things grow slowly over time though, and the orgs are large, so understandable why it took a while.
You assume this is 'just weirdness', but in the thread You have multiple examples that there were upsides to this separation as well
