Except that Google was known for all these perks, 20% time (I wonder what this guy would think about someone wasting ONE DAY A WEEK for something not on his project?!), good food, etc. pretty much since inception.

Isn't that why so many people flocked there to work in the first place?

I’d say most people flocked there for prestige and compensation. Perks were just icing on the cake.
