Google doesn't need to break encryption for other reasons too. It has JavaScript execution access and thus access to all the client side data on at least the half of the top 1mil. websites on the internet.
It's easily blockable for people who care, but still many don't, and for those people it makes all the pretty transport encrytpion a sham.
