Ultimately, you have to trust someone. Unless you write your own compilers in machine code, and get the source, review it, etc. you have to trust someone along the chain. Hell, Intel/AMD could be fucking with you via the CPU.

If I have to trust someone, I trust the multi-trillion dollar company built on privacy. If they are found to be spying on people, the hit to the wealth of everyone who works there will be massive.

They're built on advertising. The same advertising that makes you think they're not spying on you.
