Likely no coincidence that they announce their company, io, during Google I/O.

Search "io" on Google right now and see what comes up...

I don't know about you, but neither of them comes up. Google I/O has always been something you have to search for including the "Google" part and this news is all about Jony Ive, not the nondescript company name.

Went in an incognito window and searched "io" and this announcement was shown right above Google IO [1].
