Interesting to see how they have all managed a system with each other that is so hard to switch around.

Based on how this was (apparently?) an automatic response by the Google search algorithm, seems more like a case of:
Twitter: ”You took everything from me!”
Google: ”I don’t even know who you are”
Probably coulda just like… emailed someone at Google and asked before making the switch.
So trying out changes to a platform isn’t a bad thing and can lead to a lot of good optimization, but usually you don’t just push them onto the entire user base without testing/marketing research to try and anticipate their effects.
How exactly do these changes make it to production without being evaluated? I know blame is mostly on Musk here but do the software devs really never stand up and say “we’ll look into it and get back to you in a few weeks”?
The reason this doesn't make sense to you is because of how you're framing it.
This corpo is being run unilaterally by someone unconcerned with its longevity. It's that simple.
