> eventually people who have worked at google are going to have more trouble getting jobs elsewhere when all the tools they've worked with are things that nobody outside of google has heard of

This has already happened. Many companies offer dictionaries to translate the names of Google tools to their tools. Open source ones exist as well: https://github.com/jhuangtw/xg2xg

An issue I’ve ran into is startups being very hesitant of hiring Googlers because of a perception that they can’t engineer without other teams of developers supporting all of their tooling. One startup specifically asked how to create a dashboard without using Plx - a wild question given the vast OSS dashboarding ecosystem - but it was still a concern to them.
