That's what happens when you take your most productive/creative minds, thrown them in the trash, and replace them with greedy MBA drones.

Drones, indeed. Now your government's murderbots can be powered by Google Gemini.
One of the more interesting things was the MBAs don't run engineering, it was fascinating seeing how quickly the tide can go out on management quality, especially when you're growing 20% every year -- took maybe 4 years to form a new extremely agreeable layer over significantly worse quality than the one 2 layers above it. Kiss up, kick down.
I have no idea what you’re talking about in practice. It felt like MBAs or less competent perspectives abounded when I was in cloud.
You realise that the idea that developers who work at google are more intelligent than average is the product of the work of marketing graduates who work at google?
