First one you linked said Google patched Firefox performance by the time of the article, so that seems more like an oversight rather than asshole design.

Second one: rolling out redesigns is a complicated process. Most companies don't give everyone the new design at the same time, some roll out by geography, some by opt in, this was by browser type, which honestly makes the most sense.

Third one: an empty div is an easy accident to make, it's been removed. I also find it obscene to attribute an empty div to ruining battery performance. I wouldn't listen to that intern...

The worst of those three is number 2, but I can understand the decision from a web dev protective. Though I would've included all chromium based browsers in the rollout.
