And they reserve the right to change those policies whenever they want.

Like, say, when the service has become popular, the controversy has faded and it becomes profitable to gradually erode the privacy features.

I think you hit right on it.

My guess is they're approaching this in the opposite way ISPs did.

When ISPs saw what OpenDNS was doing, they quickly just rushed to make a buck from DNS redirection ads, without presenting any valuable DNS-related services to consumers.

Google's going to start by creating a valuable DNS service, and the supporting profit model comes later.

Again, I have a hard time believing Google execs will leave billions in potential ad and tracking revenue just sitting there out of goodwill.
