I agree that it's worded confusingly, but I think I can see the point they're making. Solutioning usually looks vastly different when driven by a core team than when it's driven by higher-ups or "The Business".

I think you could say that about most teams at most companies. That doesn't mean that they have any autonomy whatsoever from their company, though.

But isn't that what the article is stating? That the core team is making the final decisions?

Go can live on if Google collapses, the same cannot be said for most teams at most companies.
