that is an absolutely repugnant take from anyone at Google (I will not attribute this to a legal entity that cannot think, a human being made this call and is accountable for it). They are not educators and should have absolutely zero say in how schools do things.

They don't; they do however have say on how they develop their own products, and they want to stuff search full of AI. At least they let schools opt out of it easily.

They absolutely try to. Who do you think is lobbying for increased technology in classrooms?

Trying to sell your product is fine. Google has no more "say" in how schools do things than say Pearson does. They provide educational tools, which schools can choose to buy or not.
