The latrge federated something or other doesn't exist because Google chose to build monorepo tools instead, and approximately no one else's code base is really big enough to matter. Why didn't/couldn't Google build the federated something or other?

The short answer is likely "It wasn't worth the cost/complexity/etc of that approach".

It's an automated build system, it already exists. I think it's more likely that Googlers decided that they had the discipline for a mono repo - time will tell if that hold true.
