A lot of it also comes from acquired projects/companies, that are brought to google3, with plans to deprecate and get rid of eventually
There were directories there for sure, but I honestly never saw anything get used from there (except I think TensorFlow was in there?).
My personal experience was I never used any OSS code (that wasn't Google Open Sourcing its own code) except Linux & LLVM.
It definitely didn't feel meaningful to the company besides the ones I called out.
