Here's my main problems with google and why I've been trying to get away from them as much as possible.
1. Very poor quality customer service. They might have better customer service for things like adwords (I wouldn't know) but as far as everything I have experience with (business services, google cloud) my experience has always been horrible - good luck getting in touch with a human.
2. (as you mention) A high level of insecurity about whether or not a google service will actually be sustained or whether they will drop it and leave all their users hanging to go try out their next big idea.
3. IMHO unethical business practices, mainly when it comes maintaining their monopoly and violating copyright laws [1].
4. The fact that they control so much of an ever more centralized internet. Regardless of however benevolent one may think they are that much power concentrated in the hands of any one entity is likely a dangerous road to tread upon and one I'd rather not risk going down.
