If this is my vendor that my business is relying on, and they approved nonsense like the above or like this, why the heck would I trust their judgement?
You're free to your values and decisions, but Google is the progenitor and linchpin of surveillance capitalism and comparatively I can't find it in me to be bothered that they put on silly shows.
There's a point to be made that these silly little shows are what let Google promote a self-image that they are some ineffectual, twee organization like a local art collective, and it's this mild image that let's Google manufacture spyware without more intense scrutiny. It's subterfuge, and two sides of the same coin.

I wouldn’t trust the person who made the above to drive me to the gas station.
