ELI5: How come Google is never hacked (emails, docs etc) and other services have been over the years? Is it more secure?

TL:DR; Yes Google is more secure, but also there are much easier ways to get someone's email than "hacking Google".

Usually when you see some service get "hacked" i.e millions of accounts compromised, the hackers are going for identity theft and looking for identifying information like social security, phone numbers etc. 

Google data is different, and usually not tightly linked to real life identities.
For email/docs etc, it is much more efficient to hack individuals rather than Google itself. You will find lots of (successful) attacks where the attacker sends the victim a malicious link and uses it to steal their password. That's the most common way to get access to someone's email/docs etc. That's why 2 factor authentication is so important, though not impenetrable. 

You do see large scale phishing attacks where millions of users are sent these links. You just wouldn't think of them as hacking Google, since no Google server has been compromised, only users have been tricked into doing something. 

Google isn't immune. There was a famous incident a decade ago when Google discovered the Chinese government had hacked it to get information on dissidents. But Google probably does have better security than Verizon/Target or whatever. Firstly it's a technology company so it pays more attention to such issues. Secondly it's relatively newer company so there isn't as much ancient, insecure software in there. 

The Google security team is very well regarded in the software industry and many of its early employees have gone on to leadership positions in newer tech companies.
