Sundar needs to go, period. All these articles undersell how bad the morale is at Google right now. It has been unpopular change after unpopular change, and Googlers have zero trust in the leadership. There's zero psychological safety anymore, and the environment is basically like this[1], but actually worse because even the "sister" teams in the same org are being very territorial.
I don't think the next person is going to be better (because they'll be appointed by the very same board), but Google needs a change at the top.
Customer obsession (ugh) is just not in their DNA. I can tell firsthand they care more about what they want to do than what the customers want.
