I was in the same boat as you. Loved Android, didn't mind sharing all my data with Google. Worked with startup colleagues on google cloud.
And then came Google ban bots. 24 hours ago they deleted one of my friend's account because of a keyword picked up in his reviews on app store (Apparently the bot thought he was being compensated for reviews which goes against their TOS), some of gsuite users had all accounts frozen and everything deleted because one of their dev had multi-login.
Some were suspended for credit card denials in their billing (falls under financial fraud). Then "Youtube heroes" where people could flag each others videos.
I really wanted to try out their new ML products but the console is insisting on me adding my credit card and I am so paranoid about getting my account blocked/deleted by Google if for any reason the credit card charge is rejected.
I give two shits on a popsicle about NSA snooping on me. I am more worried about google taking away chrome,search, gmail, android.. how did even get here where google controls essentially the whole of internet.
