If you're not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold. In this case, a product Google no longer wants to sell.

I've lost count of how many times I've seen statements about users being products on here. Can we please stop reciting platitudes?
Obviously Google would care if they annoyed enough users to lose ad revenue, or tarnish their reputation. The real argument is about whether the fraction they are annoying is small or otherwise irrelevant.
