While google did do a lot of work on making https by default be a thing, that is only a small part of what im refering to. Google did huge amount of work to make https high quality, so that sites using it were actually secure. They increased standards for CAs significantly, took a much tougher line on CAs who violated the rules, pushed certificate transparency hard (which is probably one of the most important developments for security of TLS ecosystem). Chrome was the first browser to support HSTS which is very important for https to work in practise. Google maintains the hsts preload list.

Google didn't just make TLS popular, they made it secure.
