With regards to Greg betraying Tom, Greg didn't know that Tom was the shoe-in for CEO when he brought that information to Kendall. To be fair though, Greg should've deduced that Tom was a leading candidate. If he was truly loyal to Tom, he should've brought that information to Tom in the first place.
Tom only divulged to shiv that he's going to be mattson's american puppet ceo after she sniffs him out. You, and Tom, can see it on her face after he suggests that she go forward with the yes vote despite mattson's betrayal. She knows he wouldn't suggest that unless there was something in it for him. Shiv is a smarter character than Tom. Unfortunately for her, she's also way more prideful and emotional. Intellect isn't what wins tom the succession wars. Like Richard said, it's his willingness to debase himself that gets him to the top. Shiv can't set aside her ego. She "cannot stomach" kendall besting her, whereas there's nothing Tom can't stomach.
You’re very correct about Shiv’s ego, but I don’t see her as a bad person. And she won in my opinion, being from a conservative home made her see long term and choose her immediate family (this was very smart). I don’t believe her main issue was whether she bested Kendall or not, but Kendall betrayed her even when she had his back. Anytime Kendall went after her she always struck back. Be it the propaganda shenanigans concerning cruises/the rapes or when he said they would as sort of triumvirate. Kendall was a weakling.
Part of Shiv voting against Kendall was spite. Although Tom will most likely be a better CEO than Kendall would've, that probably wasn't Shiv's main consideration.

Greg is probably the smartest on the show. Or at least the fastest learner.

Kendall was a weakling.
since the beginning of the series it was obvious Kendall kids were adopted, just look at them
Richard congrats on the new book, getting into you.
Noice 🤟
