There was a massive PR campaign to wash his image. Similar to Bill Gates; a massive amount of money and influence spent washing that complete prick squeaky clean for years. Him and his cronies actively holding back the planets technology for over a decade will never be forgotten.

"There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, ‘Fool me once,..shame on— shame on you— fool me can’t get fooled again’
—Bush
And a mixing of Who lyrics.

Me: Spending hours upon hours with me and my friends playing around on what was then called “GOOG-411”, training early language models that would then eventually years later become part of the reason Google Assistant was so ahead of its time.
Looking upon with shame years later; the massive push by everyone half-way familiar with a computer pushed everyone else to switch to Google Chrome Browser.
Is there a SoftwareGore community here on lemmy?
