Don't they have anybody from the legal department to oversee the decisions of developers? A wrong decision could cost them millions in fines in these days.

Are these fines actually ever collected/paid?

I remember the five billion dollar fine sourced out of GDPR, but is that ever actually initiated or part of an ongoing power play?

Answer: no way in hell. Legal most assuredly signed off; Google decided they have no liability, formally.
