It’s another “we listened the community and nobody told us no” moment. Like Go’s telemetry issue.
Google is boneheaded and hostile to open web at this point, explicitly.

Go changed their telemetry to opt-in based on community feedback, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with that example.
No. The official statement from Brian was “I received a couple of personal e-mails from some credible people who stated that their data belonged to them, so we (I) decided to make it opt-in” (paraphrased).
I spent days in that thread. That uproar was “a bunch of noisy minority which doesn’t worth listening” for them.
It's weird to see you try to make hay out of Google doing the thing you actually wanted them to do.

where is this official statement, I don't think you even managed to get the name right

I mean yeah, I too would probably prefer to read a few well-reasoned arguments over email than to wade through hundreds of hateful, vitriolic, accusatory comments from randos in a GitHub thread. Being an open-source maintainer is hard.
