Mexicans presumably call it Golfo de México.

Sadly I don't think they have much of a leg to stand on. The English Channel is called La Manche by the French, and there are many, many more examples.

There is a difference between a translation and a fabrication... :-)

Isn't it common for different countries to refer to the same geographic feature with different names? Why would Mexico care what Google displays to American users?

They care for the same reason why USA made it suddenly national emergency to rename it. USA wants to gain something and Mexico does not want to loose that something.
