Google is a large company. They're neither a friend of anyone nor an enemy of anyone; that's something that only a single conscious mind can do. Google is a company with thousands upon thousands of people each individually seeking the most profit for the company, and no ability to decide to collectively like or dislike something.
In a lot of cases, a lot of these individual people believe that ensuring a healthy free software ecosystem brings the company profit. It's our job to prove them correct.
