I get that Google is doing this (Fiber) in order to improve internet service, which is in it's best interest. But I can't help but feeling like there is some other goal here.

It's all about the bundle. They need to be able to offer the so-called triple play that other ISPs do.
This. It's an easy way to bend tax laws.
As I understand it, Fiber is run as if it were an independent company, trying to make a great product, and run at a profit.
Profit?
This is easily 3x their wholesale cost to provide this service, so it is pure profit.
