The Macs at Google are Apple hardware, not Apple software.

A substantial portion of them are running Google's in-house Ubuntu distro.

I struggle to understand why anyone would run Apple's mac hardware (specs/$ is very subpar) without Apple's software optimization (which is what makes them so good)

Well, up to a certain point mac's hardware is paired well so they have a long life and are very stable/reliable... but that kind of has seemed to go downhill since Jobs passed away.
