You're missing the point!
Nearly everyone here is completely missing the point: the problem is not that the startup's data is gone, the problem is Google doesn't care and is non-responsive.
Had Google just told them in a timely way that they cannot restore their data, we'd all be talking about something else. But Google initially talked like maybe something could be done, and then did nothing.
The startup is just hoping the law suit will make the corporate giant care just enough to act — or at least communicate.
