The last major data breach Google suffered was in 2009, via a targeted Chinese espionage program involving personnel intrusion.
Contrast that with, well, gestures widely to most of the Internet. While Google's security model is "We secure your data," so the trust interface between the end-user and Google is significant, Google for their part does an execllent job holding tightly to that data. If anything, the biggest risk working with Google is losing access to your own data because they stop believing you are you, not some third party getting your data out of Google's clutches.
The last major data breach Google "suffered" is continuing as we speak, as mandated by US national security laws. "Most of the internet" looks better in that regard.
US national security law is perfectly capable of applying the same subpoena pressure and sealed requests for data to any provider operating in the United States that it is to Google. If your argument is "Google is bad because it complies with the laws of the countries it operates in," I have bad news about enforcement authority and governments in general.
Would you say the same I’d it was Chinese government instead of American?
