I take it you've never had to depend upon a Google library before. Just kidding, but yeah - my understanding is that Tensorflow V1 was annoying to use and that Tensorflow V2 sort of "pytorch-ified" everything but it was a.) breaking changes and b.) too little too late. Now Google has JAX (they JIT numpy so it will run well on their TPU's + autograd) which is coming along nicely and takes a different approach from pytorch. I'll still be using pytorch or a wrapper for pytorch-isms however.
