You'd have to ask the homebrew developers that.

Every time I've ever seen anyone question their decision to embed Google spyware in their product, however, the GitHub issues are closed and locked, so I don't know if you'll have very good luck. I stopped trying to convince them to behave ethically and simply use nixpkgs now instead (which incidentally in my experience works better) and do my best to inform people about the facts so they can make their own decisions (something I wish homebrew would do, instead of deciding for them to use their computer to spy).
