I think the author's point about reset buttons and cancel buttons is valid, but not about the Google Meet interface. Reset and cancel buttons present an either/or with the submit button. You either submit or cancel, and only rarely reset a form, so they present interface functionality that is rarely used, but significantly impactful of the experience.
But a "leave meeting" button is used at least once per meeting by each participant, which may be more frequent than the mute or hide video buttons. It's appropriate to put it front and center where participants can easily find it.
I feel like what the author really wants here is a confirmation before leaving in case of accidental clicks.
