The reason for this is probably that if they treat vendors the same way, then they are not justified temp or vendor positions but should be FTE. Which of course Google wouldn't wont. I'm sure there is also a time box on how long they can be a vendor, e.g. a max of a year or two before they have to move on. Microsoft got into trouble I heard because they treated vendors "too nice" a couple years back if I remember right.
