I think it's useful information. Many people are not aware of alternatives.
Plus, it would be better for all concerned to have 25 smaller companies with 20M accounts each than one company with 500M accounts. Less of a security monoculture, and fewer eggs in a single basket when it does get compromised.
From a user's perspective, although it may be less convenient, it's probably healthier to use a bunch of services offered by a bunch of different companies than to work with a single company for all digital needs.
As if, this one would never get compromised and they were much better at it. Except they probably aren't. Bet the devs have all keys on their "work" laptop (you know, the one with stickers that they take home, to starbucks, on vacations, watch their movies on, etc.) (like everyone elses is doing)
Sooo narrow-sighted.
