High achieving computer science folks choose google because it feeds into their existing dogma - "I am smart. I did well at High School - I get into Ivy League - I do well at Ivy League".. Errr now what? I know, let's go where everyone thinks the high achievers go!
Google managed to very effectively be an acceptable reason to quit academia or not pursue a PhD. Good on them, working in the Plex is better than going through the bullshit that Matt dealt with. Doesn't change the fact that if you work at Google you're getting paid at a discount, and probably are a lot more unhappy than that retard who can't figure out how his Google plus account works.
