In my ex-Google experience, here are the stages of denial about something that Google does which is good but the industry doesn't yet embrace.
Stage 1: "We're not Google, we don't need [[whatever]]";
Stage 2: Foreseeable disaster for which [[whatever]] was intended to address happens;
Stage 3: Giant circus of P0/SEV0 action items while everyone assiduously ignores the [[whatever]];
Stage 4: Quiet accretion, over several years, of the [[whatever]] by people who understand it.
And the [[whatever]] ranges from things that are obviously beneficial like pre-commit code review to other clear winners like multi-tenant machines, unit testing, user data encryption, etc etc. It is an extremely strange industry that fails to study and adopt the ways of their extremely successful competitors.
