At the moment (as someone who works at a large company), it honestly seems easier to scrape->do something sketchy with the data than it would be to overcome the internal privacy protections that are in place at a large company.

Not all large companies are alike.

Do the internal restrictions apply to everybody at Google (my guess from your past comments) equally, or are there departments with easier access, government contracts etc.?

I can’t speak for all of Google (maybe there is something secret I don’t know about, although I doubt it given how much leaking there has been), but for the sensitive data I have had to deal with for my job, I’m not aware of anyone having a way of bypassing the controls.
