There’s a difference between “I am in public so taking a photo of me is fair game” and paparazzi gathering around a front door with a dozen cameras snapping flash photos the moment both feet are outside while goading the person verbally because their income depends on a saleable picture. “It’s information in public so someone might see” vs “Google continuously maximising the damage of a short term mistake, testing every door round the clock for accidental unlocks, because it’s in their financial interest” If the internet is a hostile place where mistakes can harm you, the harm comes from the people acting in a hostile way rather than s friendly supportive way, and on this spectrum Google is the indifferent machine rather than the kindly human janitor exercising discretion and judgement.
