Not sure if you are being downvoted but very much this. In my time at Google there has been very politically motivated engineering decisions (google scale code renaming to remove words like master-slave etc). While I totally agree that those should have been taken, but if a company is spending resources (which translates to money) to undertake projects that are inconsequential compared to other things (like being aware of the actual issues these communities face, as the memo points out) then it's fair to call out the company's blind spots.
