The linux implementation already had rapid acknowledgements and tail loss probe for a long time. I think it was prototyped there by google.

It's called R(ecent) Acknowledgement and yes the work came out of Google. This is the single biggest change to TCP loss recovery in a decade. It is now a Standards Track RFC: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8985. The Windows implementation was one of the earliest amongst a handful and Microsoft participated in the standardization.
