Another weird product from Google. I have an impression (I might be wrong) that decisions there are made by a) hardcore geeks, b) “politicians”/ideologues. It manifests in company’s complete inability to connect with real-world everyday people, to understand what consumers want, what they prefer or dream about. Another possibility is “self-organization”, of course, or decisions made by committees where everyone us afraid to hurt others’ feelings and the responsibilities are blurred so much that the resulting products always turn out awkward and full of compromises. Products that are totally devoid of fun, desire and in some cases common sense.
