Techrot is real and it's there in almost every major big tech product. Google does definitely take the gold medal in this category though as I have never seen so many bugs in production software by a trillion dollar company as I have seen in Google's.

1. Maps crashes almost every ride on Car Play (this used to happen a lot back in 2023 and was fixed for majority of 2024. Seems like it regressed again)

2. Trying to expand reviews on Google Maps expands the wrong review (100% reproducible, not an edge case)

3. Firebase Auth has terrible reliability when it comes to SMS delivery and fail rate of like 5-10%.

4. Gmail keeps opening links with the wrong account (Click on Google meet link from an email in account number 2, as in .../u/2/... . Link opens with account 0 and now you gotta switch accounts again).

5. Gemini is famously unreliable and produces wrong results for seemingly simple queries.

And many more I can't recall on top of my head but surely exist.
