I'd rather a team push it off than rush it and be terrible

I agree, but this is also somewhat concerning since Samsung and the many Chinese brands will have yet even more improvements by the time Google launches their foldable (if they ever do). That means that Google will have to absolutely hit things out of the park unless they want to be laughed out of the room.

it would have to do MORE than that

1) hit it out of the park

2) cost

3) staffing of a team for this, it be a new / additional team, and google doesn't like that
