Your friend's HOA represents her landlord and neighbors. Their interests overlap. She could know many of them. Sidewalk Labs would exercise much more power over many more people on behalf of Alphabet shareholders.
Your friend could escape the HOA by moving across the street when her lease ends. Her landlord would have to sell the condo. Opting out of Sidewalk Labs would mean moving out of the district and maybe getting a new job.

Thank you, this is a novel point that I hadn't yet heard. That being said, the ambitious version of this development (before the reduction in land made available to them) is 1.5 sq mi. This means that you can pretty easily do the equivalent of "moving across the street": if I'm doing my math right, someone living in the most suboptimal possible dead-center of the community will have a minimum of a staggering....0.7 miles added to their commute. This seems a whole lot closer to my friend's situation than paying property taxes to live in a city does.
