believed he was not inclusive, Google’s Employee Investigations team explained that he had shown favoritism towards high performers, which it considered “non-inclusive,” and commented on employees’ walking pace and hustle, which it considered “ableist.”

But that was my read of how it was at least tangentially relevant, similarly to how "typing speed" might be tangentially relevant to roles requiring the use of a computer.)
