For what it's worth I don't think that's paranoid at all. You don't want to deal with Google, so you don't introduce them to your network, that's reasonable. What is paranoid IMO is some commenters' (as well as seemingly Paul Vixie's) implication that Google does this trick with the Chromecast to better spy on people, which completely goes against Occam's Razor.
