> Respect the opportunity

Honestly, this reads like a Rule of Acquisition. I think Google may be run by Ferengi at this point.

I would legit watch a Star Trek franchise that had the Ferengi running Big Tech.

It's supposedly about respecting the opportunity Googlers have to work at a big company with resources to change the industry. Like, I get it, but tone deaf...

Not quite. It's about respecting the opportunity of Google to make money.

Nobody cares about "changing the industry" if it doesn't "move the needle". And in the end, the needle is neither the number of users, nor the positive impact of the project.

That's just an incorrect framing, what I described is at least the corporate overlords wanted to portray. FWIW I have friends who work for Google.
