I would take a different angle and say there are a ton of teams that don't contribute directly to the core product, despite being great engineers. Big Tech companies always have teams working on tooling, open source projects, greenfield initiatives that often don't pan out. Tooling can be great but it can also be very wasteful. For example Twitter works on https://www.pantsbuild.org/. They invested a lot of engineering time into building this and maintaining this today. Why did Twitter need to create their own build tool? There's plenty of good build tools out there. It's arguably a huge waste of time. My experience with it is that it's not very good compared to Bazel.
