Coverity was evaluated a number of times at Google, and IIRC we decided it wasn't going to scale to the codebase size we needed it to. A separate and unrelated effort ended up with us building Tricorder [1].
Often perceived NIH at large companies for this sort of thing is simply a byproduct of scale that is unreasonable for external companies to have to worry about supporting.
