I don't know why Google gets called out on brain teasers. Companies like Microsoft were using them long before Google's founders were even in college.

I think Google's prominent use of them, and their image as the 'trendy' place to work gives them more visibility on this issue.

Google never used them prominently. The Google brain teaser thing is some kind of urban legend.
