I kind of remember reading this shortly after joining Google in 2015 (have since left), and thinking yeah he's got a point, esp. regarding point 1: "All teams will henceforth expose their data and functionality through service interfaces." and point 5: "All service interfaces, without exception, must be designed from the ground up to be externalizable."
It's like, if we hit upon something useful, it better be available as a network service with a well defined interface from the start. And I do remember looking around at how things were, and thinking, yeah, Google could definitely use some of that philosophy (without, all these years later being able to cite any specific examples). It definitely felt like it hit home at the time.
