proper authentication protocol do not send your password to Google to authenticate

That is not true for 99% services including google. Google have a plain text password at the time you are logging in, they just store hashed+salted version in storage.

(Almost) No website (or app) is hashing the password before sending it to server, so if you hack the login screen you can dump RAW passwords anytime.
