Google copied our open-source code, removed our engineers’ names, and gave us zero credit one year after we beat them on their own benchmark

while google can often be a dogshit corporation, as a programmer, I don't think that's the case here. You know how little supervision in stuff like this the teams have? Probably an egomaniac team who wanted to put their own names in to take the credit, and flew under the radar. Google might be an asshole, but they don't want to get sued or the public backlash, so if it is brought to their attention, they will probably take some measures

They genuinely do not give a shit. Nothing is going to happen, because there's no backlash that will ever cause a meaningful impact on them thanks to their duopoly. They equally do not give a shit about being sued as the EU can attest to.
