I really think Google underestimates the damage they've done to their reputation with these. These incidents are rare, but they're common enough where you can't trust them reliably anymore, and if that's the case, why would you pick them over other vendors?

it's not like they're the only provider, or even the #1

Their security track record is pretty exceptional compared to the other two.
