I think what is most difficult is the inability to attribute this change to a clear intent, which can be then be clearly opposed.

What's likely happening under the hood is a Google PM thinks this a good idea bc they have an MBA from a good school, see the market research on grammarly (sp?), knows it nods to helpful social movements sometimes, and decides to roll it out as an OKR from a team of a sub-team of a product of Google of Alphabet.

Who do you push back on against this? Putting aside the massive network effects GOOG can wrangle to roll this out and have it standardize.

The same thing happens with an Amazon warehouse in Rural PA that is doing shady things with workers and data tracking, a Walmart in Montana. The city council decides to do something about it. Who exactly do they complain to with actual impact? There is no one really.
