Apologies, thought we were talking economics, where barter is every bit as legitimate as cash. But you’re talking polemics where there’s moral failing in Google’s and user’s parts. Fair enough.

I didn't say barter was illegitimate, I said it was symmetric. There are salient differences between barter transactions and currency transactions even from a purely economic perspective. It has nothing to do with morality or polemics. There is a reason money is a thing.
