Huh. I think the main reason some people (myself included) go out of their way to avoid Google products as much as possible is because of security.

Google's security != your security.

I do trust Google to "get security right"[1]. I just don't trust them to secure things I don't want to share with them. Which happens to be a huge percentage of data on and generated by my phone.

[1] In the colloquial sense that people tend to use that phrase.

Do you mean privacy? I don't have issues with Google's handling of security.

That's privacy (ie google collects your data), not security (some random hacker collects your data).

There is a link albeit not a first order one. If your privacy gets invaded enough, then random third parties will get your data (legally, from google) and then some random hacker will collect it.
