Yeah, as a heavy Google user I would use this if I had a reason to use a VPN. Google is scraping all my information anyway from my Android phone, my Google searches, and G-Mail, Maps, etc. They're not going to gain any additional information about me from usage of a VPN.
This is probably true for anyone using Google One.
If I had an iPhone or used DuckDuckGo or Firefox was taking other security measures, it's probably pointless, but I've just gone all in on only Google have any of my data.
