Oddly the industry mostly rejected googles application of SRE even as they adopted the term. I've only seen Google use it to refer to engineers maintaining / operating someone elses code.

You didn't look around very hard then. I acknowledge that certain areas of the company can consistently use subsets of a role, so you may not have encountered it personally, but your view is definitely wrong about the role in the company as a whole.
It’s cause they don’t know what they are talking about.
Easier to shit on people and things with hot take then actually have a grounded and coherent argument or realise that different companies/teams have different constraints, problems and environments they operate as well as different solutions.
