What's the principle? I should get anything I want for free as long as I can get away with it? I shouldn't have to pay for anything if I don't want to?

Genuinely curious what the principled argument is here.

I don't see any mention of getting anything in that comment, I just see a refusal to give google money.

not giving google money is quite an odd "principle"

Specifically it's not giving google money even if you would benefit from the transaction, because of a big list of bad things google does.

It sounds like a reasonable principle to me.
