His point isn't just abandonment. His point is that what if tmrw they introduce some new restrictions (like the g+ profile needed), that would mess things up. He doesn't want a situation where he has to comply with google's whims or be forced to leave the tech he loves. Not to mention all the effort put into training that tech. So he wants the data google collected on him to be portable. So that if tmrw he decides to use some other service in place of google now, he can just take out his data, and plug it into the new assistant. Now wouldn't that be cool? PS: i understand google has absolutely ZERO incentive to do something like this. But hey, just explaining GP's point
