If Google and Microsoft had the exact same number of shares outstanding and the same equity and the same market demand and the same valuations then the price could be close to the same. But that’s not reality.

Two different companies, providing different services and products, with different shares outstanding, different equity structures and different relative valuations result in different stock prices.

Outside of maintaining compliance with exchange requirements. Stock price is largely irrelevant on its own.
