> Google fights against subpoenas and warrants all the time but sometimes they lose. At that point they have to comply or be held in contempt and I can't really blame Google for complying in that situation.

I can and do blame them without hesitation. They could choose not to store that data, or make it zero-knowledge-based, yet they choose not to.

Just because they've been compelled to hand over data via legal means does not excuse them for doing the wrong/insecure thing in the first place.
