Why not both, Google engineers and Google execs? If you've ever looked at how Google engineers talk on the Linux kernel mailing lists, and their code in android internals, they tend to have a "we know best" or holier than thou attitude.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this trash also coming from the same kind of Google developers who act like that.

These engineers are just trying to keep their job. There's probably a lead or a manager somewhere in line with upper management involved in this and looking over the developers' shoulders.
