I don't think a lot of people actually think in terms of "they are Google", but more so in terms of "we hope to one day be Google" so they build (more complex than needed) systems with that ambition of scale and everything. Almost as if they are over planning for the future. Not to say that is either right or wrong, but just something worth noting, in my opinion. I don't think anyone actually over engineers something thinking they ARE Google when they are clearly not.
