Are you saying Google is currently trying to offer more value to society and they can't find the funds?
My core stance probably comes down to: I don't see how putting money into payroll can be considered a waste to society. It's distributing money directly into the bank accounts of the working class.
They are in a position to provide value to society. They have as large a team of vetted professionals as they can. A bit cliche, but the horse has been lead to water
