I agree- the irony in google fighting for the next platform to be open regardless of what it is, is in google monetizing data that I would rather remain 100% private.
Google is fast approacting too good to be true status, at least for me personally: I use google voice, gmail has become my primary email client (including letting it manage my own domain email), I use google docs to edit documents on the fly, and was probably one of the first people to download chrome and chrome os.
That is far, far more information than I feel comfortable letting any one company have about me.

In the modern age, all that disparate data will eventually get centralized or aggregated somewhere, somehow, whether or not it's your choice to do so, that of the companies you're interacting with, your friends', your own employer's, or your government's.
