It’s not the data collection that made me want to leave, it’s: 1) your account can randomly disappear so you shouldn’t depend on it. Not just for political reasons but things like password reset using a heuristic that can fail leaving you permanently locked out. 2) the abusive anticompetitive behavior was starting to affect me directly. 3) very recently google has started deleting private data containing content they don’t like If you leave over just the data collection that’s extremely noble IMO. In most cases that’s something that affects everyone around you more than it affects you.
