To sync what? I use Chrome and never log into a non-web google account. In fact, I'm able to browse the web without 'syncing' anything.

Bookmarks, history, passwords etc.

I don't want to give those to google. Is that unreasonable?

No, not at all but by the vehemence of your reply, you make it sound like Chrome or Chromium force you to give these things to google. And I don't think they do.
