It makes sense if you look at their broader offering. They're basically building alternatives to Google products, and this seems to be an analogue to Google Wallet, but with crypto instead of credit cards.

It's a really low-cost way to add services to your suite. There are tons of FOSS crypto wallets out there, so it's basically just copy paste, audit, integrate, and ship.
