Not a google employee but the example you cite is hardly the design of "asshole developers." Single-sign on is convenient, and I'm glad I can monitor any illicit usage/sign-on for any of the sites you mentioned in a single place.
Apple protects you from asshole developers, but it also restricts you from just installing what you want in the first place and they take a 30% cut of all revenue while doing so. I hardly think they do it out of the charity of their hearts.
