I was asked the "What if Google does it?" question a few times at Seedcamp by some investors - I agree with the previous comment - the question is kinda dumb, but 'seems' reasonable when used with "Google". If I were building some new social network and was asked "but what if Nokia did it?" it would suddenly seem strange... even the (more accurate) question "How would you deal with competition" is still not very useful as having competition is something that should generally be expected and not used as a way to validate or invalidate a good startup idea/product.
