Not to sure how much credence I want to put on posters like that appearing randomly etc. going on about Google buying Dev.......Google seem to have strong online training and VR capabilities in-house (I actually use Google training and certifications to keep my digital marketing skills current), they could just snap Dev up very quickly.
They seem to favour USA based acquisitions in the main, last ones in similar areas were Socrates in 2019 and Workbench Education in 2018, both USA firms and integrated into Google Classroom apparently. Dev are a good potential target for a large EdTech specialist or even tech firm wanting to enter the sector though, and certainly now they have a growing presence in North America we could see Google interested......we'll see :-)
