You gotta do a lot to get a director gig at Google.
You might not think it's all useful especially if you're not into the people/politics side (I would agree, personally), but it's not like you can go sleepwalk your way into that job.
No ones asking you to raise with us. You can be a PM or EM at a company and have an equal impact.
Also being a Director at a company is a hellish role. I remember my Director of Eng at a startup that hired me as a SWE eons ago was working almost 60-70 hour weeks. They were both technical minded AND business minded

Somewhere the inventives are misaligned for sure.
