For important public/social positions, there are strict laws about where you're allowed to get money from for very concrete reasons. GSoC isn't openly imposing anything as return favor, the same way it isn't openly imposing a return favor for your search results. But all of it serves their corporate purpose nevertheless. I find it hard to put in few crisp words, but in general I agree with the general distrust of companies too huge to be good for anyone. If nothing else, Google uses GSoC to identify individuals that have time on their hands, are interested in software and need money, and they affiliate that new young generation with themselves, imprinting a positive image.
