In what should be surprising to Noone, Google was just paying lip service about what it stood for from the beginning. When their motto was 'do no evil' it was a lie, they just stopped pretending.
Making quality stuff for free does not mean they were not doing shady things in the background.
I have no plan to boycott Google or anything, but they were nwver benevolent and usage has always been a tradeoff of data tracking for convenience.
