Or perhaps it's Google's hiring process - they are so obsessed with Leetcode-style interviews, they do not vet for the actual fit.

If it was just leetcode I think they would have gotten someone who was politically incorrect enough to point it out.

Yes.
That was 2017.
I am sure the response to that case made smart people avoid sticking their necks out.
For me it probably was the straw that broke the camels back for me. I was in the hiring pipeline at that point and while I doubt that they would have ended up hiring me anyway, I think my absolute lack of enthusiasm might have simplified that decision.

I honestly think that incident helped make the type of people who would have the nerve to stick their neck out and say "This is racist" avoid Google like the plague.
Sundar absolutely had to fire Damore because he came out with the arguments like that women are too neurotic for high stress jobs. The thing is even Damore's more reasonable points were ignored and Google's ideological echo chamber only strengthened.
