What a tremendously unconstructive post.
>I'll get down voted for saying this
Well don't mind if I do. (read the guidelines friend, this kind of crap is specifically frowned upon).
> Google isn't a charity and you aren't entitled to a Gmail of your choosing.
This is a pet peeve of mine. What does this mean? That you can't force to charge their ways? Yeah, maybe you can't. Doesn't mean you're not allowed to make criticism? If course not. The argument "they're a private company therefore they do what they please" is a facile but invalid way to shut down criticism.
>You can't complain about Google because Apple does other unrelated bad stuff.
Well and you can't complain about Apple because Monsanto does even worse stuff and I don't see you mentioning then. Classic whataboutism.
In other words, if you really wanted to do constructive criticism you would have (1) presented your arguments clearly instead of playing the victim in your very first sentence, and (2) you would have limited yourself to the facts of the matter and not to external stuff (which you only kinda did in your 4th point).
