The problem is that the variable GOOGLETEST_VERSION is defined in the main CMakelists.txt.
If you check it, it actually builds googlemock as it says

...
project(googletest-distribution)
set(GOOGLETEST_VERSION 1.16.0)
...
option(BUILD_GMOCK "Builds the googlemock subproject" ON)

...

if(BUILD_GMOCK)
  add_subdirectory( googlemock )
else()
  add_subdirectory( googletest )
endif()

It is turned on by default.

If you want to build directly from the folder you shown in the example you have to pass the variable with the command:

cmake .. -DGOOGLETEST_VERSION=1.16.0

Hope this solves your problem.
