It's pretty obvious Google doesn't care about the privacy and security of its users at all, they are just desperate to make money. (The G+ shit is also a perfect example for this.)

I'll be honest -- I have some formal as well as informal training in this kind of thing. The way SSL certs work, Google can't really hide them away in a lockbox -- you have to share them with people like DigiNotar/Vasco, or Verisign, who handles a lot of the "core" SSL business. And once you do, you have to, again because of how SSL is setup, depend on them to keep that cert secure.
And if you don't hand it out? No SSL connections from many browsers for you. So you're stuck depending on someone else's security for these things -- and I'd lay the responsibility at Vasco's feet, not at Google's.
