Google interviewers are strictly told to ask these data structures and algorithms questions, it doesn't matter to them if they are relevant for future work. I have even read reviews by PhD candidates where even they were asked these questions in the interviews. When I interviewed with Google last year, I remember that the interviewers had a blueprint of the type of questions they were allowed to ask. They hardly concentrate on your resume during the interviews.
