Maybe they were actually lying when they originally said "Don't be evil," and removing it was only being more truthful?

Disagree with that. All the privacy issues people have problem with now were already a problem in 2007. But being the media darling along with Submarine PR Google didn't get much bad press.

There were lots of other things too, including their site breaking Firefox as well as Chrome, their promise not to make another browser.
