It's not as if the users set IE to read P3P headers so technically they didn't override any user settings.

Google is still using this flaw to override the user setting "Do not allow 3rd party cookies" to allow themselves to track users.
There is no "technically" about this, they've misused the standard to override user settings.
Instead it says "Third Party Cookies" with choices of Accept, Block, or Prompt.
That's exactly what they do.

No, it doesn't.
You sound as if you have researched it, but you seem to be trying to mislead folks by spreading nonsense.
Google is intentionally using the loophole. They are intentionally circumventing users’ wishes. That’s nefarious. It’s first and foremost a moral failing. That’s exactly the problem. Just because it’s possible doesn’t mean it’s right.
That the loophole exists is a separate issue that also has to be remedied – but it doesn’t make Google’s behavior any less evil.
