I don't think this is why Google puts out mediocre products, FWIW. I think it's more that when something turns out after 6 months to be a bad idea, everyone's incentives are to spending another 12-18 months launching (or "landing") it so they can get promoted (and then change teams). Failing responsibly after 6 months isn't rewarded. (From what I'm told, Meta is better about this.)

I'm surprised this comment for downvoted. I'd love to understand what about it people didn't like, if anyone feels like replying.

  I'm just guessing, but perhaps it's that the comment mentions Meta without vilifying it?

    Ha, that'd be sad.

I freely admit Google was not the big company I was thinking of when I wrote my comment. I would be shocked, however, if all of the MANGA companies didn't at least to some degree suffer from what I described. I think to any company that organizes work around services is going to have problems with APIs that overpromise and underdeliver.
