Well no, Google wants to hire all the best engineers they can find, even if they have to pay more. Obviously they don't want to pay more than they have to, but their primary concern is capturing as much of the top talent as they can.

Agreed, I don't think there is overt bias, however it doesn't rule out industry-wide systemic bias which I think is real.
