The trust is in different areas. The risk that Google would ship something that steals your passwords, addresses, or credit card information and does anything harmful with it besides ad targeting is basically zero.

If you want chromium without Google there are several options such as Edge, Opera, Brave and probably a dozen more I've never heard of.
