I'm not sure it's right to say they did anything here. All the article reports is that an unspecified Google VP made an offhand remark that no changes are expected to their 3-2 hybrid schedule - which used to be Amazon's schedule until Andy Jassy made an unexpected change.
I'm not sure what you mean. As far as I understand, Microsoft also hasn't made any recent changes to their hybrid work policy or unconditional promises regarding its longevity. (I've heard of a _conditional_ promise from an Azure exec that hybrid work will stay unless productivity requires them to get rid of it.)
