In other words, you cant escape the wrath of google, so what you should do is give up. It's like showing up at a Greenpeace march and pointing out to a protester they they are wearing shoes that were made in a facility that probably contributed to the destruction of the planet. Why bother protesting you imperfect hypocrite?
I'm not protesting anything. Sure I would like to use something else but I don't see any other search engine with better, more relevant results yet. Nor do I see a better video platform or a better webmail (I am being subjective here ofc). You can't tell people to give up good things just because [insert evil things here] and offer no better alternative. You can escape the wrath of google of course, there's always Bing, Duckgo and others; Python, Ruby, Elixir, PHP, Java; Proton, yahoo mail, Zoho; Vimeo, DailyMotion;
Gmail, Search and Go (yes it's my fav language so far) runs or helps my business greatly and with a direct impact on my income so yes...I'll gladly share my fetishes with the big brother. I don;t want to but I have no better alternatives. Do you?
I think your frustration comes from the fact that you want to avoid using their products but can't find better alternatives. Also, no need to call people names and...use your own username; don't go green in fear of internet points.
If one wanted to hurt Google, stop using their products which generate revenue/profit i.e. Google Search, YouTube etc. For me Golang does not fall into this category.
Just last week I was picking my son up from school when I noticed he had a can of Xylene in his bookbag. I asked him where he got it and he said Aamazon
