Manufactured consent strategy to build support for the Google Play Store power grab? Or real risk?

My mother can barely tell the difference between an email and a web browser page… every pop-up warning is indistinguishable from every other in her mind… I am constantly having to remove Google Play apps that capture her I/O… no GitHub needed. But Google is pushing the idea that if only they controlled the whole experience that life would be so much better.

So stupid. My employer’s laptops given to every employee are pre-configured to vpn back to the company network. What part of “private communication” says this use case should be in any way distinguishable from some teen cruising porn sites?
