I think I mostly am agreeing with you but I see it through a liability lens.
When Google's cloud service to analyze code snippets screws up, nothing in the ToU should alleviate Google from the responsibility they should rightly bear if they ship a system with known and understood flaws that are not clearly portrayed to the user (and I don't mean buried in the middle of a paragraph in page 36 of the ToU).
If forcing Google to accept liability kills the service dead then good - it's probably the right thing until they can reach an acceptable level of safety that they are willing to accept the resultant risk.
