I don't think it happens a lot if measured as a % of offers. You are just not seeing all the people who get an offer, accept and don't post about it. This is the single biggest factor here.
Beyond the above: yes, team matching is a challenge, and plenty of people take other roles while the matching happens, which could take months if it ever happens. This is the 2nd biggest factor.
Google pays better than most places, so this is unlikely a major reason, but you can look at levels.fyi and see what you think. Some people do get better offers. No clue about location which can vary. Other factors are a long tail.
As a hiring manager - I've seen offers declined because of compensation in the last year - at a much higher level than the last 5 years
