The problem is with your perception of reality. Google doesn't operate for the outside, you're on the outside, Google operates for Google and people in Google care about themselves first, then Google, and then -- if t all, outside.
I am really curious to know about the people who are downvoting this. I really want to know why, genuinely.
The issue is that your comment is a rationalization. In reality, evidence beats logic any day of the week. Just because what you say is logical doesn't mean it's true. As such, it's not adding anything to the conversation.
Your take is cynical, but sensible in a massive org with dysfunctional culture that jades and burns out engineers until they only care about their own personal gains and everything else is secondary. I think people project their values in situations that don't have place for them and get upset

That is a very useful bit of wisdom that one can overlook easily, but once articulated can explain a fair bot behaviour.

Public companies operate for the benefit of shareholders.
Which is "Google" in this sense, the employees are just workers, Google is not a coop. Google operates for Google, or it's owners which are the shareholders. No?
