Yes, everything is in the soup called /google3. And it's time wasted; the SWE working on the Jamboard may prefer to work on higher impact projects; The PO as well. For example, an hypothetical PO @ Google may have this possibility to launch a new product instead (e.g. deprecating the Pixel 7); - New launch = promotion. - Promotion = better salary. - Better salary = happy wife. - Happy wife = happy life.
