Why not?

He had a poor experience with them some time ago, and Googles behaviour in the last 7 years has been abysmal and seems to be getting far worse. eg likely re-inforcing his opinion.

Not really seeing why he'd "forgive" an entity with those circumstances.

If Google had instead changed for the better, maybe you'd have a point. :)

You're just talking in abstract terms. Let's be grounded in facts. His initial "poor experience" was that his website was hacked in 2012 and Google warned its users about visiting it.

Sure. But you are too. You seem surprised someone would hold a grudge for 7 years against a bad actor.

Personally, I don't find it surprising at all.
