Patronizing dialogues like these just underscore the disdain Google shows for its users.

Treat users like adults; respect them. If you (UI designer) think you know better: you don't, you're just cocky. If you can't think of another way to get users to accept your new design: it's probably because it sucks, and you shouldn't have made something no-one asked for in the first place.

It also fragments the discussion. If they did it all at once, people would rebel.

I was hoping they would use this feedback to roll back the change. No luck though...
