In general, if Google talks about open standards, don't let it blind you. Somewhere in there _will_ be some loophole, through which Google will benefit from any standard they propose. And, in the very unlikely case, that we cannot find that loophole, their benefit will be, that some competitor has a disadvantage.
When Google talks about privacy, you can be 100% sure it is some kind of deception to make you trust them more or shift how you perceive things, in such a way, that benefits Google.
They are riding that "It's open! It must be good!" wave quite hard and too many people are fooled by such a tactic.
