This is a non-sequitor. Google hires a lot of PL PhDs (I'm one of them). And for relevant teams there is a "Domain Expertise" portion of the interview. And many of the people working on the languages and frameworks you mention have such background.
You don't like these systems. That's fine. But "Google would do it all differently if they just hired some PL PhDs" is just false.
