I think this would be true if they offered some form of paid peering.
Google want's a good fast route to your customers, And your customers want
a good fast route to Google.
IF Google ran its transit at or near congestion. This could degrade your
customers performance. After so long, You'd contact Google and attempt to
troubleshoot. And they would say if you want good peering with them, You
should pay them to peer. Where you could control just how much traffic was
on your port and expand it if needed. Pretty sure this was Comcast and
level3/Netflix did. But Comcast had the winning leverage (more eyeballs) in
the discussion.
But, I don't think Google does this. My knowledge on AS15169 is limited.
But I recall them having a very strict peering policy.
