Unless they've been building any factories I don't know about, their contractors are the manufacturers. I'm talking about companies based in Taiwan like Quanta, Compal, Clevo, and others. If you've ever been to a Computex Taipei you have seen the booths of the actual manufacturers of Google's hardware.

This is a meaningless nitpicking. It is like nitpicking Apple is not a manufacturer of hardware since the actual assembly happens under some contractor. For all intent and purpose, and even technically, Google is the largest manufacturer of data center-sized supercomputers.
