Disclaimer: I work at Google, not on cloud.
I think this is just coincidence though. Apple most likely performs their own layer of encryption on top of what Google already does.
They protect against two different attack scenarios: Google doesn't want plaintext data to show up on disks. Apple doesn't want plaintext data to be accessible by anyone at Google (or any other 3rd party provider).
