So if I get this right, now a VP will be hired that will approve of these things?
I wonder if there'd have been utility to attempt to change the system from the inside out.
I guess there wouldn't be. Then this would be the only option left.

That said, it doesn't sound like there was much more he could've done to change things from the inside-out; and even though it might not be the intention, this public statement does sound like it might contribute to changing it anyway.
I think he did everything he could think of to change things:
"At that point I snapped. VPs shouldn’t go publicly rogue, so I escalated through the proper channels and by the book. I’m not at liberty to disclose those discussions, but I made many of the arguments appearing in this essay. I think I made them to the appropriate people."
with no result, and no evident likelyhood of positive change.
Which is why he had to quit.
