Software written by a party with a proven record of surveillance of its users in the service of governments, and of selling user tracking data en masse to advertisers as its business model - cannot, in general, be trusted.
Now, if the codebase is small enough to allow for scrutiny by 3rd-parties, that point may be moot, but even then, Google may have some ulterior motive which will not immediately become apparent.
So, I'm kind of suspicious of such an initiative.
