They explain everything in the TOS you agree to when starting a free account. It's not exactly shocking that they mine your data in exchange.

Google tracks you even if you do not have an acccount. There is not practical way to opt out.

I disagree with the TOS but we use their services at work. What am I supposed to do? Quit my job?

Even with ads blocked and cookies disabled, so much JavaScript is served by them, they can infer my browsing habits anyway, and I can't count the number of times I've had to rip 8.8.8.8 out of DNS settings in the last year.

How exactly does this constitute a choice to share my private information with them, and what thing that I want am I getting in exchange, exactly?

And the 11 people out of 200 million users that read the TOS are indeed not shocked.
