I wish someone at Google said "We have this idea that would significantly improve user privacy, and that's through means that would fundamentally hurt our possibility to deliver ads".
Or facebook saying "we have this idea that would improve the experience on our platforms, and we think it's a great idea despite hurting our ability to grow, show ads and our short term bottom line. It actively discourages 'engagement'".
If I had any stock in either company I'd still be delighted about these. I think it's the best long term growth strategy they can have. Focusing not on growth but on users and goodwill.
