They don't want Google having access to all of the juicy customer behavior/interests and product pricing information. Any privacy benefit for end users is purely coincidental, but very welcome. Though, I'd hope anyone that cares about privacy even a little bit is staying far away Gmail and others like it.

It's really bean a long time
I'm not sure how it is at Google, but in my experience large businesses loathe their employees for being the largest line item on their expense sheet. Not surprised they give absolutely zero weight to their desires.

Shelter?
I've had a similar experience with car insurance. Home insurance, though, my rates went up ~40% two years in a row. Switched companies and pay less than half of the inflated rates.
For any platform, really, it's just that mobile suffers from the "everything must be an app" problem the worst. Luckily, fast food hasn't gotten bold enough to ask you to install a desktop app when opening their website.
99% of apps can just be websites, and probably 80%+ of them are just PWAs in a wrapper that can be published on an app store.
Yep, indoor is much safer and healthier for the cats. It's not like cats have goals and ambitions out in the big wide world. They spend most of their time laying around and doing that on a couch vs under a bush is only meaningfully different in that one location comes with a much higher risk of parasites and being eaten.
Not to mention that it is much easier to monitor the health of indoor cats. Tracking weight, litter box usage, and food and water intake can easily add years to the life of a cat. Though, outdoor cats probably need to worry more about cars and bobcats than kidney disease.
