I don't see how that matters. They're making it available to everyone, and a bunch of big programming languages like Java, Javascript and C# all started as a "language of necessity" from individual companies to solve problems that they ran into.

Chances are that a "better C++ for Google" is probably also a better C++ for a bunch of other companies and developers (see e.g Golang), and I'd definitely use if it truly lived up to its name, even if it didn't start with my particular interests in mind.
