If Google adopts an existing OSS technology, it usually takes the form of Google contributors joining a core team for the OSS in question. The OSS community generally isn't a fan of single companies taking _over_ a project and generally prefers ownership changes in the other direction (e.g. Kubernetes getting transferred to the CNCF).

That being said, the most noticeable example here that I can think of is Google migrating its internal C++ toolchain from using gcc/g++ to clang.
