Correction, you _gave_ them full control of your project, when you decided to use their APIs and tooling as the literal backbone of your application.
This is the tradeoff, and server administration is not something you can hack at, DevOps style. Proper external backups would've at least made switching away less painful.
If you wish to have full control of your data, you have to co-locate your own servers and run things on bare metal. Though running things on the cloud is a trade-off that many of us have made.

Terms of service and other agreements do not justify the careless approach that Google takes toward it's customers and customer service. This situation should be resolved with capable humans in the Google business/account management group, but as we have seen so many times here on HN, that is not how Google operates.
