How many people are using Exchange to sync their Google accounts to their iPhone/iPad? How many of them realize that is an invitation for Google to wipe your device?

It's not clear Google has that kind of control. They don't control the Exchange server. They're just feeding data to it.

Google in fact does run the Exchange server that you connect to; setting up Google Sync gives them just as much power as setting up any other Exchange account would.
