Probably something to do with the whole "don't be evil" thing. Google has always done a pretty good job of that. Sometimes doing the right thing isn't the same as doing the thing that's best for business. In fact, REALLY OFTEN doing the right thing isn't the same as best for business. Also the vast majority of Google employees are probably open source users and fans themselves.
