Interesting thing is, Google doesn't care a flip about each of us individually. If it was up to them, we'd all be perfectly anonymous unless we opted-in to some tell-us-who-you-are-and-we'll-give-you-free-premium-services arrangement. Google's value comes from determining the profitable behaviors of the largest economic force on Earth, then selling that knowledge to whomever can pay the steep price.
It's the sniveling little men with their illusions of grandeur who sit behind tax-paid desks, who have the power to make Google give them evidence of the underlying granular private transactions that are the "source code" of those compiled behaviors -- THAT's who is the problem.
