Isn't that because Google has its own atomic clocks, rather than NTP which is (generally) using publicly available atomic clocks?

Having your own atomic clock doesn’t really improve your accuracy except for within the single data center you have it deployed (although I’m sure there’s techniques for synchronizing with low bounds against nearby atomic clocks + GPS to get really tight bound so they don’t need one in every data center)
