That they were mapping wifi access points was not the issue, this is something they continue to do.
The actual problem is that Google was capturing wifi traffic, including emails, passwords, medical and financial information, etc.
Also, Google probably knows your wifi password, which they can hand over to law enforcement without your knowledge or consent.
