With Gmail accounts I agree with you.
With Google for Business accounts I disagree.
Google for Business is basically the paid Gmail, and for that payment you get a different level of service. Namely that you can disable adverts, Google+, and various other things on the business accounts (even turn off YouTube if you like).
And that service includes compliance with various data protection standards, payment provider standards. Such that HR records are secure, the permissions really are effective, and so on. Frankly compliance to this level takes some serious security work and they can't be scanning those docs, files and emails, etc if the business has opted out (via the domain control panel).
Yes, I trust the Google for Business service where I pay and the software is the product.
I don't trust the Gmail service which is free because I am the product being sold to advertisers.
