Even if you think the personal morality of Google employees is a formidable check on its practices it's definitely not sufficient. I'd rather have more formal protections than rely on employees revolting against questionable practices as the only recourse.

I just think that everybody is overlooking Google's corporate culture and thus are imagining purely virtual evil scenarios that will not happen, like the health data sold to marketers.

From what I see of Google and the past public outcries, the company would be more interested in developing medical characterization of illnesses etc. Like Apple watch used to diagnose heart problems. There is a lot of "money" to be made ethically this way.
