Are you scratching your head wondering why the gunman has yet to pull the trigger? Don't worry so much, he will. Of course what is the analogy for Google sharing all your info to the gmen without it ever being known?

The point is the very apparent analogue.

It's a huge US corporation that make their living by selling data. Why would anybody sane give them their encryption keys? I just don't get it.

As Brexit and Trump have amply demonstrated, marketing trumps (sorry) sound reasoning every time :(
