Chromium's gn started being prototyped in 2013 [1].
Android's soong started being developed in June 2015 [2].
Bazel's first open source release was in September 2015 [3].
In addition, you surely can't be serious about Google not 'dogfooding Blaze' - it's a critical build system internally at Google. And new external projects (like gVisor) are also now built using Bazel.
