Having a good availability of food which is mediocre (and rapidly declining in terms of appeal, variety, and nutrition) is not a meaningful perk. It is the minimum viable offer when you force most of your employees to work in the middle of nowhere where there are ~no local food options, and spend too much time of their time commuting to justify spending time preparing their own.
In this respect I'd probably even prefer Apple where the food is not free (and the price has generally been increasing) but the quality has been much better maintained than at Google.
Google has lots of offices. I'm at the Zurich office, as this is my preference, but there are enough to choose from. I wouldn't go to Cupertino as I wouldn't like to have to drive everywhere (I prefer a bit of walking and 10 minutes by train), but I respect people who like those places.
Still, I'm not comparing Google against Apple (which is one of the top revenue/employee companies), but against smaller companies, startups and all the other companies in the world that can't compete that easily with the quality of life that these companies provide.
