Google promotion culture incentivises engineers to build things, regardless of whether that thing is needed or whether there already is a thing that does the same thing. You can use up a lot of engineers that way.
Google insiders explain why Google launches many products and then abandons them.Hint: It has to do with chasing promotions. 🤦♂️ pic.twitter.com/u9nwleGxHK— Peter Yang (@petergyang) October 3, 2022
Anyway yes, all the big tech companies have people doing all sorts of things - some are the core activities that make money, some are risky expansion bets, some are projects that should probably have been killed years ago.

Have several friends who worked for Google for a decade or so in the early years, they’re linguists and were mostly working on translation products— now one of them runs one of the most important arts spaces in LA. He sometimes talks about how he made a ton of cash and then noped out at the right time.

if I were one of those people I would have to be highly financially incentivised to come back and do a single thing. Hopefully they don't have some clause in their termination contracts (which dictate their last day is actually 60 days from now) that compels them to.
