The point of the payout is not really for the people who did not get a job -- its just a good place to put the money. These lawsuits are actually to punish the companies so they change their ways. 11m as pointed out is a rounding error for google.

Had the lawsuit resulted in 1B -- something significant -- I can assure you that something would change in the way they handle older applicants.
