Both Facebook and Google are continuing to contribute to Mercurial, so they both have some vested interest in it. If you poke around the commits on the repo[0] you'll see commits from people with @fb.com and @google.com email addresses. The mailing lists also has activity from both companies still.

As well, the Mercurial team does quarterly sprints (I believe), and Google is hosting the next one[1].

Sprints are twice a year, once in the US and once in Europe.
