This was my experience working on election integrity issues.
No good deed goes unpunished.
The thing you got to realize is that many here make their livings trying to secure systems and we're finding it hopeless. The way you did what you did was fine. In terms of proving the hack you needed to violate Google's trademarks. It's in the very nature of the hack, and as far as I'm concerned, warranted given that they have a bug bounty. Now, I probably would have disclosed it to Google, Bing, etc. ahead of time, but it's your bug. You could have sold it to blackhat scammers and you didn't. For all we know this hack could have been going on for years.
I think most people are confusing their anger at the situation with anger towards you. You're cool.
