A statement written by former Google CEO (he's now the CEO of Alphabet) Larry Page explains that the restructuring took place so that Google can unite all of its different experiments and businesses in one place.

There's a secret shoutout to HBO comedy show "Silicon Valley" hidden on Google's new site.
