Thank you for this answer. It makes a lot of sense. For my (and I expect most people's) threat model, google's prying eyes are a more credible concern than my neighbor's, and I wish they hadn't changed it, but it's nonetheless a defensible reason for making the change.

Phishing by a random bad actor taking advantage of lack of TLS verification is far more likely than Google putting a sandbox escape in a phone app they distribute to steal information from you. I really hope most people's threat model doesn't match yours in this respect.
