Why did Google create Polymer? Google isn't using it. This is almost the same 'problem' with "AngularJS by Google", it's almost never used by Google.
Edit: The reason I like React more is the fact that Facebook uses it in a high traffic production setting.
Edit 2: I think the whole Javascript (or framework) fatigue is just a 'transition problem'. Old tools are getting replaced by new tools, causing confusion..
I believe people generally mean that Google isn't using it for any of their core products: Gmail, Search, Google+, Photos, YouTube, Google Play, Calendar, Drive, Maps... none are built with Angular.
Adwords was not in that list (madewithangular) so I simply supposed it wasn't made with angular. Neither is Analytics, or any of the tools I use from Google.
If Adwords is Angular then that's one big project on Angular (clap clap clap). However, all I ever heard was that they were planning to move to Angular2 on Dart. I wonder how that worked out.
edit: just editing to add that I´m not doubting that Google is using Angular2 in some projects, like their internal CRM (Green Tea or whatever). I simply wanted to point out that it's not used _extensively_ in their main consumer facing sites - the ones you get links to when you click on their apps dropdown menu.
It's important to note that Google does give it's developers the freedom to choose their own tools. If a team isn't excited about Angular or Polymer, it's not forced on them.
If I was building a webapp that was going to have hundreds of millions of users, I'd think twice about grabbing an off the shelf JS library.
