I don't think its still good idea for company like Google to alienate few number of users on Windows Phone by not providing their official app.
And if Google can provide app for Symbian but not WP, it clearly states that Google is just purposefully avoiding WP app.

MS on other hand is cleverly getting people to use their apps by providing apps on rival platform, so later they may gain in long term.

Google has zero apps in active development for symbian to the best of my knowledge. No apps for Blackberry as well. Their entire focus is iOS, Android and Chrome. In fact they are killing their Windows apps replacing them with Chrome apps. Google Talk is gone. Google Play Music Chrome app now does uploading of songs as well. Soon Google might have Chrome and Drive as the only native apps on Windows OS. They might even find a way to replace Drive with a Chrome app. Creating a Chrome app lets them support four platforms with a single app.

As for Microsoft? They have to release apps for iOS and Android to avoid a situation where a generation of future business leaders grow up on Microsoft less ecosystem. Because once the business world no longer has any use for Microsoft Office, they might find no use for Windows as well. And that would be a killing blow for this company.
