I have heard of this argument often, and I don't quite understand it. It's similar to saying "I'm always amazed at how a country that has the most number of Nobel prize winners has some citizens that can't do calculus" The people that work on Android and Chrome are not the people who work on websites. It's okay to say the website doesn't meet your expectations, but it's better to recognize that those are different projects worked on by different people with different set of requirements and resources.

Companies are not countries. People are hired in the first and born in the second. Companies should be concerned when their actions don't match the narrative they are trying to sell about themselves. If the Mobile Web is important to Google (and it should be), it must be a company wide effort. The “that's not my department” excuse doesn't cut it.

    That's a better analogy. Still, colleges are usually much more eclectic than companies. Even MIT, usually known for STEM, has one kick ass humanities department.
