If we look at his past performance, it's pretty obvious that Google CEO Sundar Pichai doesn't understand just about anything, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that he doesn't understand this particular thing.<p>It's unfortunate that Google is saddled with such an ineffectual CEO, whose product vision could probably be summed up as "oh well this could maybe be interesting I guess".
Is it really a surprise Google started rolling down the hill when Sundar Pichai became CEO?<p>What big thing has Google done since Sundar Pichai stepped into the CEO role?<p>Absolutely nothing. It's all past projects that came to fruition.<p>For what Google was, and what it has become... it's very sad.
