"So Rob Pike is basically saying that the developers at Google aren’t very good so they’ve developed a dumbed down language so they can get things done."

I read the Pike quote very differently. When Pike says: "The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers." I thought he meant programmers today use google to assist them in programming.

"The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers."

I took that to mean "Our programmers are building products, not thinking about building programming languages"
