Don't hate google too much..! They are an essential company to the west world; They contribute a lot to the community.

As long there is no business interest, the developers there are very competent and would defend their architectural choices I want to believe.

But yes, they - as a whole - have earned such a mistrust by now very much IMO.

I have no interest in giving them the benefit of any doubt, they not only haven't earned it but actively squandered and destroyed the trust they had earned in the past.

They'll actually have to do something to make themselves trustworthy again, and even if they do, there will always be the threat of them reverting to what they are now or worse looming over every good thing they do.

They not only became what they set out to oppose, they've become so much worse.
