Thanks for the tl;dr, but why buy a tld for internal use only? Just so nobody else would? (Maybe it's in TFA; I'll admit I didn't read it)
Do you have any source for this statement?
So basically Google decided to break everyone else, because they were afraid someone would break them. They should be more considerate of other developers who use .dev internally like them.
Once the gTLD landgrab was announced, it was too late to push the new RFC approach, and it was likely someone was going to get the gTLD.
Someone who was using it for internal use like Google is probably less disruptive to existing users (even with their HSTS action) than if it had been someone who wanted to sell it for public use, which would have produced real chaos.
Why? What do they owe anyone?

Your attitude is the root cause of so many problems.
The have a moral obligation to not be jerks. If you're not aware, one of the things jerks are known for is acting selfishly with no concern for how their actions affect others.
Google shouldn't have been allowed to buy a gTLD like dev in the first place. But, since it has and Google only plans on using it internally, it should only use it in ways that don't break existing usages.
What are you talking about????
