Maybe change your perspective. Google is trying to integrate everything into one Google account.

Imagine if Github created the Wiki product with a separate login, and then wanted to integrated Wikis into the rest of Github, but then lots of Wiki haters got mad because they wanted the old Github and didn't want to sign-up for all that Wiki stuff.

The point is, if you sign up for Google, you get Drive, Docs, Spreadsheets, YouTube, and G+. They are different services that are all part of having a Google account.

The real thing you should be complaining about is that G+ notifications are annoying, and you just want to turn it off because you don't use G+.

That would be like if every time you logged into Amazon.com to watch an instant movie you got notifications from S3 saying your bill for the month is $0.00, or your workmate you gave access to your EC2 account just bought a new TV.

It's the notifications that are problem, not the integration.
