I think it might be because Google additionally has a track record of groupthink in this kind of area and is known to have stifled any discussion on ‘diversity’ etc. that doesn’t adhere unfailingly to the dogma.

It is. We have to add these parentheticals in lest we be accused to being members of ‘the other side’. I’ve always been an (at times extreme) advocate for equality and anti-discrimination, and I now find myself, bizarrely, at odds with ideas I would have once thought perfectly sensible. The reason this level of insanity has been able to pervade companies like Google is because diversity and inclusion have been conflated with ideological conformity and the notion of debate itself has been judged to be harmful.
