Why should I have to ruin my naming standard for them? Personally I don't mind them mapping my SSID.

Why do you have to ruin anything? You aren't forced to use a technology that broadcasts your identification to everyone. If you do choose to use Wifi you can choose a name that Google won't track. Since the technology does broadcast it publically anyone else and every other company CAN track it.
