I'm not going to reply to that in detail, but comparing a Big Tech 
company like Google with just any other company is a bit off.

Also, Google can donate as much money as they like to Debian. A pure 
financial donation does not involve any promotion or endorsement. GSoC, 
in contrast, promotes Google to all participants, and endorses the use 
of their platforms openly, on top of the whitewashing marketing act the 
whole thing is.
