I'd imagine that the inconvenience of handling takeout data is beneficial for Google's business interests, so there isn't a big incentive to improve the situation.
- nybble41 5y agoHow many other services make it relatively painless to download all your data in one place? Or at all, for that matter? For me, the existence of Google Takeout is definitely a selling point when comparing their services to the competition. There is room for improvement, and perhaps some conflicting interests are at work behind the scenes, but I wouldn't say they go out of their way to make the process inconvenient.
