Yes. Though in some countries and threat models (where Google/NSA is not your problem) we are seeing many activists/journalists switching entirely to a Google Platform...Google Apps, Docs, Android, Google Chromebooks etc. If implemented properly (two factor etc) in some threat models it actually makes more sense compared to a mishmash of systems without anyone capable of monitoring and protecting them - and it helps to reduce the overall attack surface...It's not ideal but often the best that can be offered in certain circumstances.

100% agreed! It's like using new, super secret, awesome encryption (telegram/zcash) vs something more established that's been reviewed, tested, and has support.
