You're overcommitted to the hypothesis that Google is completely uninvolved based on their own denials which carry close to zero informational value.

Given that your hypothesis is rather outlandish even by the NSA's own slides (which explicitly mention 702 compliance) and would require more Google employees than Page to know and willingly lie about it, I don't see why it should take priority over a hypothesis that actually meets all the Occam wickets.
