It could. If the CEO is bringing undue attention to the company and being detrimental to its operations. But here it appears to have been 5 people at the center of this. I'm sure we could find 5 people at Google who would like to be vocal against the current CEO. But there are quite a few CxOs who are vocal and people don't complain much about them, including Dorsey, Zuckerberg, Hastings, Chapek, Gates (though retired), Bloomberg, Forbes, etc.
