My feeling about Google is that they do not respect privacy, no matter the product. Invasion of privacy and tracking their customers are behaviors deeply ingrained in Google DNA.

Doing so for all other products has been incredibly profitable, so why not Go? It’s not like Go the language has a history of respecting the PL community (the resolution of Google stepping on the Go name was Google three their weight around and told the Go! author to pound sand), so why should anyone expect they respect their users?

I have said this before... this is in Google's culture and we must push back on it no matter what. It's basically the boiling pot and the frog.
