I agree "serverless" is misleading but it just means "no server to administer".
Yeah I know, I mean I like serverless for its niche use cases, if you're already in the cloud, might as well take full advantage of the tools made available to you.
Helping people by against their wills, well done Google!!!??????????
It's more that because previously users weren't queried for the setting one way or the other, they have no idea what people's wills are.
Pretty disingenuous. You can ask a representative sample, then assume people follow that. If you ask a few hundred people and 99% say they don't want it, then you make the default that they do want it, you're doing it "wrong."
I say "wrong" because actually their optimisation isn't doing what people want, it's whatever makes them money, and this makes them more money.
"the people's wills" doesn't figure into the decision at all. So why are you even bringing it up?
I'd bet money that if Google polled 100 Workspace accounts, they'd find the admins hadn't turned this tracking off. So they'd arrive at the same conclusion we're observing them to arrive at.
