I will never use Google Wallet because a) I don't trust Google, and b) I don't trust Google.
You trust your stupid bank. I don't even know your bank and I know they're stupid and corrupt. You trust Apple and they were actually hacked. What would Google do? Give away your credit card information? The outsized distrust of Google is irrational and silly. Don't be silly. I'm trusting you to be the Godfather of my next pet.
Trust is such a weird thing, Microsoft, Apple, and company have done a pretty good job of smearing Google, even when they often do the same things. Siri sends everything you say back to Apple's servers, Apple's own privacy policy allows for sharing customer information with third parties to improve services or advertising. Microsoft sucks up tons of information about their customers as well. Both Microsoft and Apple run ad networks. But it's only Google who people can't trust?
Which is weird, because the proper response is to trust none of those companies, including the banks. We're all money makers for them, that's how they see us. I use Google products, I don't particularly trust them to do the right thing all the time. That clearly won't happen, which is why you remain vigilant against any shenanigans.
