In all seriousness though: Google does things their own way, and that's fine. But design policies (policies in general) tend to migrate between business domains.

Pointing out that you're personally not a fan of some particular policy (provided you do so politely and don't belabor the point) can be informative for incidental third parties as well as for the people currently writing the rules.

I know I for one appreciate it, for the same reason I appreciate Google's public programming style guides.
