I see "You're the product, not the customer." and "The publisher is the user, not you." as labels of warnings.
For me that isn't twisting words to accomodate things like DRM and privacy-invasive tracking. If you tried to mask "You're the product, not the customer." as "The customer is always right." and "The publisher is the user, not you." as "Software is made for users." you'd be twisting words.
If I'm the product or the publisher is the user I'm very careful with what I share or do on the service. One of the many reasons for why it wouldn't affect me much at all if google disappeared tomorrow.
