If Google restructured into a franchise model, where each franchisee independently operates Google XY per country XY, then that would legally allow each Google XY to comply with GDPR while paying Google US a franchise fee. Technically, however, this is a nightmare to implement, since each Google XY would have a due diligence responsibility to audit all source code changes, and Google US would be required to issue a complete working set of product code to each independent franchisee, as otherwise they're just subsidiaries from a code standpoint, which when interpreted by a court would likely be found equivalent to being a full subsidiary rather than just a franchisee (as Google US would then retain the ability to collect GDPR-protected data in violation of GDPR).
