" and then proceeded to not open source anything after 2011 or so."
Google has released literally 1000+ open source projects since then. These are just the ones that went through me in one way or another (IE that i have personal knowledge of).
So you may want to reevaluate your premise :)
You can't even argue "they didn't release anything major".
You may be able to argue "they didn't release anything I personally care about"
I went to go reply to the typical "name a whatever that google has released as open source since then", but the person deleted their comment after two people already named some.
Here, i'll double the number:
GRPC
Bazel
LevelDB
etc
There are 393 projects in the main google org on github since 2012. This doesn't count the ~55 other github orgs google owns, or the fact that at least triple that number were released on code.google.com in the same time period. If you can't find something that meets whatever criteria you want to lay out, not sure what to tell you.
