Google's official stance is they target 75 percentile pay, not > 95. So not too far off from MS. My guess is they use different peer companies.

Hmm I can't find the source but I thought Google targets the 85th percentile not 75 or 95.

But then again the market data that Google uses isn't public (and certainly isn't levels.fyi) so there could be discrepancies.

Well at least the confusion about what Google's target market percentile is isn't just limited to Google (all three of these comments are incorrect, the first one is the most correct, and 3-4 years ago it was more correct than it is now w.r.t. Google, and its correct in that FB targets a higher range than Google does).
