Because the Russian government is much more dangerous to me than the US one.

Russia sent agents to blow up an ammunition depot ~15 kilometers from where I lived (google "Vrbetice 2014" if interested), killing 2 people. Russia regularly poisons and assassinates people. I mean, I'm no big fish to be interesting for Russia, but still the comparison comes out clear.

Russia is currently trying to invade and conquer even larger parts of Ukraine and a significant part of the world is helping Ukraine defend itself at the moment.

I prefer handing my data to privacy-breaching companies if the alternative would be handing data over to a state my government is currently holding a proxy war against.

And if I were Syrian I certainly wouldn't want to use American services with the Russian government supporting the current regime.
