What he said probably cannot be verified, even. On another note, has anyone noticed how Pichai likes to take pictures in front of others’ work for the media [1]? To me, it’s a weird feeling—- like someone taking credit for others’ work.
Eh, that's kinda normal. Just because the queen shows up to get photographed cutting a ribbon at a new university building, doesn't mean anyone imagines she laid any bricks or tiled any bathrooms.
The photo you linked to is only confusing because he's not wearing a suit. Chuck that guy in a suit, have him look on politely as someone in a high-vis vest or a lab coat points at something, and this photo would be one among thousands.

That would be different. In that situation it is clear who is doing the work, and who is providing the money.
But posing in front of a widget, he is signaling to the world, “I made this”.
Huh, he is the CEO of Google posing with Google's quantum computer. Unless someone is inventing the universe there will always be others' work where ever one poses.
