To be fair, Google respects robots.txt (and the atrocious "right to be forgotten"), and they won't stop you from using GMail if you encrypt everything with PGP. Unlike others (cough-Facebook-cough), they usually don't feel the need to trick users into sharing more than they'd want. The classic "if you've done nothing wrong" attitude is more a personal opinion of certain individuals (a certain Eric Schmidt comes to mind) than intrinsic to Google culture. So I don't think you're being fair here; it's not like they actively try to distribute salary details of all other companies...
