(Google employee) Why would the sentiments of "real ones" be different than "acquihires"? First, there's actually a spectrum from 'acquihire' to 'real'. Second, as a Google employee who joined via an acquisition that falls somewhere on that spectrum, I was thrilled at the time, I continue to be thrilled to work here, and I think that characterization is inaccurate, unfair and insulting to all the folks who work here including those involved in acquisition diligence.
