I'd assume that using the service without paying (money or otherwise) for it would introduce costs to the provider hence being worse than not using it at all.

Google Services Framework if I recall correctly

 

In the last couple of months I have noticed an increasing trend of supplying me search results that are completely unrelated to the current query and tie back to my location or previous searches. I can say this with a high degree of certainty this is without a doubt beyond the 100th instance this has happened.

My browser is configured against tracking and fingerprinting (in fact all my devices are) which would make it fairly difficult to retain any data unless they are profiling me.

 

Recently Motorola followed by Samsung started disabling/locking devices flagged as "illegal" through Mexico marking a precedent over the remote control manufacturers have over the devices they sell! Only after Mexican government made an official request to manufacturers they removed the lock.
