It all makes sense if the end goal is for the browser to push google login across the web, and make google accounts the preferred way to log in to websites. In that case they're doing you a favour, it's all in your best interests, as well as Google's of course. [/sarcasm]

I simply don't trust a single corporation that much.

They are not doing me a favor. Software companies need to stop believing their own paternalistic propaganda. Nobody at Google is in a position to determine whether they are doing me a favor or not.

It was sarcasm, this is how the google workers rationalise this to themselves (see other posts on this thread).
