Right, because Google IO is littered with holy priests rather than
smart engineers, and not popular at all! ;)

That was an internal moral booster thing rather than a publicity
campaign. Companies do these sort of things all the time in order to
celebrate success stories. Neither Google nor Microsoft commands
attack ads nearly as well as Apple. As I mentioned earlier, Steve Jobs
directly put words in Samsung CEO's mouth at the iPad2 launch, which
is just distasteful. He probably did it because he thought he could
get away with it, being a large Samsung customer for parts.
