The concept is tempting. However in most cases the implementation is only partial. As in Wine and Samba, etc do not implement the full extent of the API. Just the part that's practical for their purposes.
And that's essentially what Google did - made a partial implementation of the API. I don't see a good way to rule that Google use was protected but other not 100% complete implementations are.
