yep. Asking nicely is always the best first option, and WMF is good at
that. Reusing our stuff is excellent, but correct licensing is important,
and a link back would be very nice.

Agree with Andy here, the WMF cant sue as the

do have leverage and direct connections to Google to remind them of
their obligations as a reuser to follow the copyright licensing and at the
very least acknowledge the work from a Wikipedia. You'd think this would
attribution requirment be built into the Wikimedia Enterprise agreements
anyway with some form of assurance or penalty for failing to acknowledge a
location where in the movement a fact came from.

That is not true. The WMF cannot sue Google as a copyright holder.
However, there is nothing stopping WM from raising the issue with
Google, and gently reminding them of their obligations. Indeed, that
would probably be more effective than individual editors doing so.
