I understand the whole "trusting Google" thing, but RSS ain't email or search behaviour. These RSS services are simply passthrough/syndication services, and no real sensitive data is handled (unless I'm missing something else?).

Google has been killing most of its RSS-related products (most notably Reader). People are concerned FeedBurner might be next.

This recent NSA stuff may help with motivating people to actually switch, but it's not really needed as a reason.

I think it's more about trusting google to keep the service running.
