We like to let the technology we build speak for itself. To the extent a project touts its funding, I'd worry about that project.
What I can say is that Polymer is part of a long-term strategic effort to make the web a better place for apps as part of the web platform team of Chrome, and the web is at the core of Google's business. We're not even at 1.0 - we're just getting started.
