It is mostly, but it doesn't take a lot of googling to find sites getting ridiculous amounts of traffic from googlebot on google IPs. Its one of the most common complaints about google's search indexing

Lots of people abuse Google Cloud to get a "Google IP" for a fake Googlebot. Why don't you show me a single screenshot from Google Search Console showing a high number of requests to a site that would be counted as a DoS? All requests from the official Googlebot are logged there so if it's such a common problem it must be very easy for you to show me this.
