“Despite the company’s stellar performance and record earnings, many Googlers have not received meaningful compensation increases” a top-rated employee question read. “When will employee compensation fairly reflect the company’s success and is there a conscious decision to keep wages lower due to a cooling employment market?”

With this leadership, when you unionize. It's literally what they're for.

Am I dumb or does th article not mention the executive's response to this question?

If it's like a lot of other tech companies, likely this was posted in a questions thread during a large meeting, and while everyone can see the questions being posed, Execs pick and choose which questions they're interested in answering, ignoring the ones they don't like. It's a good way of determining employee morale while avoiding all accountability.

It’s not really a question anyways, just a statement rephrased to fit into the format.

It is a fair and square question. "This is our position, what is your response to that?" And the answer is also clear "We care so little about you, that we don't even recognize your position."
