Bonds typically have an interest payment associated with them. I suspect even at 100 years, the interest rate will be so high Google will pay the bonds face value at least once every 20 years, if not more frequently.

Yes, but you have to factor in inflation. Well, really, you should look at the cost of money. Given that few companies survive 100 years, this would appear to be a risky "investment" that is unlikely to return real value in the long term, unless the interest rates are very high.

Pick-a-pay home mortgages are another terrible credit deal where you can make a normal payment, or a interest only payment,

Interest-only mortgages are not necessarily a bad thing. I have used them in the past and still have 2 investment properties with interest-only mortgages. These properties now have a very good LTV ratio, but they didn't start out that way.
