Your phrasing seems off. Why does Meta care what Google needs? It would seem that it's exactly backwards. Meta needs this because training resources are scarce. And Google is in the enviable position of having TPUs.
I read GP as implying GCP would be inclined to negotiate aggressively to be sure to secure this deal, due to the factors they list.
Both companies need to get something out of the deal. Listing the benefits to only one side is probably missing part of the story.
