I think more simply it's about communication overhead, not necessarily social dynamics. But adding hardware to the mix changes things. "When it's done" no longer works as well as with software. Plus, the other big companies in Seattle are hyper-political, and train people to be that way. Hire someone like that into an egalitarian structure that is cracking at the seams (because of size), and it's like a wolf among sheep...
