So if Google has some standard that has to be met, can't they just make it public and let the third party companies get certified? Or sign some kind of agreeme

  More likely they make you pay to license the "new standard". (You could say you're paying to have your implementation certified, I don't know how they will do that. I think that Google won't want to be permanently in the business of making their own exclusive brand/line of wireless phone chargers.)

  The problem isn't a question of standardizing it. The problem is that there needs to be a process for independently validating that the products adhere to the standard. There's a huge problem with poor quality/counterfeit chargers & they pose fire risks. No amount of documents solve that problem. Just good old testing of the product itself which is time-consuming & more expensive.
