It also turns out that Keep will provide them with a LOT more information about users that advertisers would pay through the nose to obtain.

Reader.. not so much.

How so? Show me someone's blog subscriptions, and then metrics on entries they clicked on, how long they viewed it, and the clicks that they followed, and I could quickly get a very accurate profile of the person.

Assuming people were to ONLY use this for todo lists, that would be infinitely more useful than what feeds and stories a person is interested in. They probably also get a lot of that information already with Google News and Google Analytics.

I suspect there will be a lot more than just todo lists, so the possibilities are really endless.
