In a way, Google does encourage it by requiring all code to be reviewed before check in. If you're pair programming, you already have a reviewer and can check in right away. One-person projects can be more frustrating due to the delay.
It doesn't seem to be enough to encourage widespread pair programming, though.
Every company I've worked at as a software engineer, even my first where we emailed patches to each other like cavepeople (and no we were not using git) has had code reviews before check in. It's not at all the same thing as pair programming though.
