Google is around a trillion dollar company, your $75,000 is a completely immaterial amount to them. Not to mention it would be a one time payment that would drive away customers and lead to bad PR like this post.

Except Google has 4 million customers. If 1% of their customers made a 75k mistake, they make 3 billion dollars.

So... where else are you going to go if you don't like these policies?

If everyone has this policy, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and the rest are in a good place. And suddenly it's the "industry standard."

This hypothetical is already enacted today...
