Sadly typical for Google. They have a long history of removing opposing voices instead of listening. Notable examples are YouTube removing dislikes, forcing old videos into shorts, and allowing disabling of comments. Also Google play removing review bombs when developers release junky updates that break the app.
It's a borderline parasocial relationship people have thinking that such a megacorp gives 2 hoots about such a captive audience.

Google is taking care of their actual customers (btw. that includes US Government): Businesses who pay to have an entry on Google Maps, youtubers who bring in ad revenue, app developers who drive google play revenue, etc.
