Agree with your conclusion but I don’t see the Google analogy. Google doesn’t expect its employees to be prosociallly or impact motivated. And what is a good decision logic for maximising Google profits might correspond to a terrible logic for an EA org to follow. E.g., unpredictable product rollouts to confuse the competition, trying to lock in markets and systems.
Sorry, I was picturing an early-stage Google that could expect their staff to be at least a bit altruistic. They had a giant ratio of users to staff, such that each staff member genuinely would have an enormous positive impact, and growth and impact were aligned at least somewhat.
