TBH my theory is that Google gave surplus inventory to their employees with previous holiday gifts (and my understanding is that different countries got different holiday gifts). The Pixel phone supply chain is really tight considering you can't even get a 128GB phone right now. Google Homes seemed to have sold quite well this holiday season as well so the prospect of conjuring 68000 Google Homes and dispersing them across the world to the 100+ offices at Google was probably a bit logistically taxing.
