Also a Google employee. Can confirm, most engineers mean well and are very good at what they do, but that doesn’t mean our bloated codebases are secure and outside of launch security and privacy reviews (which are easily waived) almost no one even considers privacy or security implications in design or engineering.

As a Linux user (who uses Arch btw), most Linux users at least care about what OS they use. To everyone else, they just wanna get work done and aren’t just having conversations about what they’re running. It’s a computer, not their personality.
