This is really not about you "giving keys to your house" to Qatar. You already given keys of your house to Google and other parties, now they own your house and they don't like sharing it with Qatar.

Your adversary may or may not be same as Google's

In some cities (in western countries) you can't travel or do internet banking if you don't have the right app. Are you coerced? Yes you are. That is the same thing here. But you don't see people complaining.
