There's no reason that people should assume you meant Alphabet rather than Google? Seeing as you used "Google" rather than "Alphabet" as they're two different words. English is fun!

I bet you sit at home, dumbfounded and confused, as to why people never invite you to parties/trips.

I'll cry into my filled weekend social life and life partner of over a decade, you pegged me just so accurately. Super relevant username btw.

Dude, you specified a company and I pointed out their parent company instead. I agreed with your original statement just indicated a better target. In the future, in social situations, a person who isn't filled with angst would normally say something like "Oh you're right, good call" or "Yeah, that would work too." Something that adds to and continues the conversation instead of being a weird, defensive neckbeard about it. Have a good rest of your life, bud.
