Most servers are not able to access the Google API.

They’re making plenty of profit selling all of our data  and getting ad revenue from the 95%+ of other users who aren’t blocking them.

I’d wager that it’s closer to 99.999%.

Exactly, you either get my data or my money. That’s how I feel about every service nowadays, I don’t think its unethical to subvert payment requirements when they have been selling my privacy for years.
