Hasn't it also been reported that Google has hired exceptionally quickly in the last years, much like other Big Tech firms? I'm sure specific numbers are on SEC filings.

And if that's the case, how much is this average tenure relevant to 'wanting to stay' and how much is just a reflection of hiring practices?

Seems questionable.

In 2013, Google's average tenure was about 1 year.

It hasn't really changed much over a decade. Honestly, it seems like a toxic place to work, so people just stay long enough for their RSUs to vest, get Google on the resume, and then take off.
