I don't think the problem is using Google or not. The problem is that software collects and sends data to a network without user's authorization. It is a package manager, not a program for reporting what software you are installing and how exactly you do that and what operating system you are using and user might not expect such behaviour. Free software is supposed to do what the user wants, not what its developer wants.
