If they want to be compatible with certain servers:

| Additionally, all implementations MUST support the use of the
| "server_name" extension with applications capable of using it.
| Servers MAY require clients to send a valid "server_name" extension.
| Servers requiring this extension SHOULD respond to a ClientHello

| a "missing_extension" alert.

<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8446>

There is no requirement in TLS 1.3 to actually send the SNI extension,
which is why GNUTLS still negotiates TLS 1.3 even if no SNI has been
configured by the application.

To be honest, this looks like a misconfiguration of the Google servers.
