The reason it got so "creppy" is because that is how Google makes money; meaning that if this Apple-sign-in or anything else truly messes with their revenue Google will stop accepting Apple email addresses (or any kind of circumvention to their tracking), and they are fully in their right to do so.

If they can do that and this privacy first kick doesn’t fade out of favor they will be on top still printing money like always but if not they’ll get left behind. I think the thesis that Apple is going with is hardware and paid for services are the future and free to use things like the open web are going out of favor or must if you want to be secure and anonymous online.
