I know this is only a partial answer, but I feel like Google is once again trying to build a product based on internal priorities, existing business protectionism, and internal business goals, rather than building a product that is listening actively to real use feedback as the primary priority.

It is the company’s constant kryptonite.

They seem to be, from my third part perspective, repeating the same ol’, same ol’ pattern. It is the “wave lesson” all over again.

Anthropic meanwhile is giving people what they want. They are really listening. And it’s working.

If you're looking it through the lens of "agentic coding", then sure, Anthropic might be better than Gemini. But I use Gemini heavily for batch processing / web scraping workloads, and it's the only show in town there, really (because it's directly integrated into Google Search).

The thing is that this is genuinely useful to Googlers as well. If they’re internally dogfooding their tools and models for coding, it seems likely that things will improve.
