Sorry, Google can agree with just about anything.
There was no year '0'. 1 AD was the first year of the decade, therefore '11' starts the next one, '2021' will start the next decade. If you say Dec 31 is the last year of the '2010s' you are correct. but not the decade. In China you are 1 year old when you are born. You would be 2 years old on your 1st birth day (two words!) celebration.
Much like what is the first day of winter? Astronomically, and the one people tend to think of, is on or about December 21. But meteorologically, it is December 1. And seasons are legislated as such in many countries. eg. Australia.
