I downvoted you and will explain why.

Very often there are trade-offs between security, usability, financial gain, and various other factors. If security and customer privacy should always win absolutely, then the easiest way to achieve that would be to disable the internet.

The reality is that Google has decided that the damage to their bottom line (and the bottom line of the publishers who benefit financially from using their ad system) is greater than the likely damage of making this change. I can't say whether or not their right, but it's silly to pretend that Google simply said "Security or profit? Profit every time!".

Saying it's "unarguably true" doesn't make it so.

He didn't say "every time" (in the version I'm looking at). He said they chose profit over security (implying in this instance) and I think that's valid.
