I have no exposure to the A+ program, so apologies if this is obvious.

A friend's kid right out of high school is going through the Google IT certification program (https://grow.google/programs/it-support/).

Do the programs overlap at all? Is the Google program as useful as the A+? Being newer, is the Google program more relevant to the industry now?

You're probably right, this program looks great and reflects how the industry has changed since A+ towards cloud-based systems. Shame though - people tend to come to IT because they like playing with their computer and A+ was a natural stepping strong from that to administrating a computer. It was like the Hobby->JuniorProfessional stepping stone.
