My concern—and I think what everyone's concern should be—is not that Google employees have access to my data. Or even that it's used to train ML models. It's that my data is sold to advertisers via a shady behind-the-scenes marketplace, and later used to profile me in order to show me content that manipulates me into spending money.

And that, moreover, I get none of the profits from these transactions, and have no control over whom it's sold to and under what terms.
