Of course a Google engineer would say this, because only a Google engineer has the perspective to truly appreciate Google’s position as the world’s benevolent steward of technology leadership - not just to maintain web standards but drive them forward in ways that Google knows will benefit everyone.
Sure it would be great if Google wasn’t a de-facto monopoly or that they have massive conflicts of interests as the Internet’s biggest advertising network. But what people need to understand is that Google knows what’s best for all of us when it comes to what the Internet is and should be. So when Google rams half-baked APIs into their browser well before they even have gone through third party certification, often releasing features with glaring security holes, they’re doing it because it’s best for all of us, not just Google.
All the nay-sayers need to just relax and know their place.
