My feeling is that the paralyzed vocal cords are more an effect of the root cause.
I think Larry did not like anymore most of what he had to do in his role and created so much stress to him that his body ended up helping him to get out of that role.
From what I heard on some videos Larry and Sergey were still actively involved in the creation of new things in Google X etc. They are engineers and they love to build and create new ambitious things. But if you are high in the management of a big public company that is not your role anymore.
I think they hoped the creation of Alphabet would have given them the opportunity to go back to work on new products with an impact for good in the world instead of having to keep focussing on the dull and stressful management of Google itself.
But in the end they probably realized that it was not the case and they left.
I know they do angel investing. I guess that with their experience and money, it is more effective to help younger enterpronurs to make the world a better place.
