At what point does a public promise carry any legal weight whatsoever? If it carries none, then why not leave it in place and lie? If it carries some, for how long and who has standing to sue?

Genuine questions. Unlike "don't be evil," this promise has a very narrow and clear interpretation.

It would be nice if companies weren't able to just kinda say whatever when it's expedient.
