This isn't my area of ownership, (and I actually agree with a number of things you said), but as far as I know it is exactly why Google goes out of its way to NOT retain those logs, and to explicitly NOT serve this traffic off of a domain that handles user cookies or other PII (i.e., separate by design from search or gmail, etc). It seems the original author didn't understand this, so it's worth calling out here clearly.
