I dunno, I’m sure there’s a part of them that doesn’t want to scare off all the free labor they get from the community developers. They are probably legitimately trying to gauge how much of an impact on that this will have. That doesn’t mean they are going to stop or change anything, but they probably genuinely care enough to know.

Google’s thinking has gone short term “next quarter must go up.” They would absolutely trash their dev community for a quick buck, 100%.
