I don't understand this comment, what are you suggesting Google will do? Surreptitiously insert code into your binary during a patch?

If you are running in Google cloud, its their machines and they have power to do pretty much whatever they want anyway. How would this feature affect anything?

Once you're dependent on their packaging process, why would they ever have to introduce whatever tracking or restriction they want "surreptitiously"? It'll be a part of their internal monitoring and diagnostics package.
