Google's sober tone at IO was no accident, and it's is sign of the tech backlash.
Remember when developer conferences were for tech companies to brag about how big they were?
Compare this to a couple of years ago. This is Google CEO Sundar Pichai's keynote during the 2017 I/O event:"Every single day users watch over 1 billion hours of video on YouTube," Pichai boasted back in 2017."Every single day users navigate over 1 billion kilometers on Google maps." The latest update about the number of people using Google's Android software was announced one hour into the event, when a Google product director was giving an overview of the new Android features.It was, in other words, a very different kind of I/O. The chest-thumping and braggadocio were on the backburner, and the skydiving Sergeys of yore were nowhere to be seen.
But does anybody really think Google has fundamentally changed, or that it doesn't care about how big and dominant its products are?
