"G+ is not a requirement for Google Play" Not claimed. The claim is that a Google Account is necessary for Google Play and when you sign up for a Google Account the default for G+ is on. And again I don't see anything wrong with that. But the obvious result is that this inflates the G+ numbers with people who aren't the least interested in G+ as a service. Again if Apple did this with Ping they'd be a laughingstock.

Ah, you meant a Google account, gotcha.

If this is true it is a huge problem that Google would be publishing user information (name, photo) to the public on an opt-out basis, violating their privacy principles.
