Seems like they ought to be dedicated security teams monitoring for exactly this: does a key to X give users access to not-X. Even more bizarre is their VDP team not immediately understanding the severity of the issue.

And slow down the time to ship things? The shareholders wouldn't like that.

They do have dedicated teams for exactly these sorts of concerns. They are also swamped with projects and so they can't review big new changes overnight. Google is very likely shipping first and asking questions later.

I don't see a problem with this. The problem with "move fast and break things" isn't the moving fast part, it's the trail of broken things that no one bothers to fix. When those broken things affect people's wallets, that's when we have problems.
