Then you wouldn't get all location data, call logs, and application usage data sent to China, you'd get them sent to the US, via Google, for better user experience and more targeted ads.

The result would be literally the same.

If you are in the US, at least your data isn't being sent to another country. Outside the US, I think your comment stands on its own.

Indeed I am outside the US, and I'm surprised the comment got that many downvotes.
