While I have never interviewed with Google, my experience with other companies is that. 1. With senior or experienced developer, it is usually pleasant and respectful and they are open to a diverging answer if it is justified. 2. Some of these companies either have an inexperienced person in a senior position or delegate it to an inexperienced developer to do the initial filtering. 3. Inexperienced people are extremely painful to interview with, they have "accomplished" something in their current/previous job but do not realise there are better ways than that. Sometimes it might just be an opportunity to reinforce their own confidence (imposter syndrome).
