I don't think datamining itself is inherently unethical. The reason I stopped using Google stuff is when they started to try to use coercion to increase their bottom line. So for instance they removed all YouTube downloaders from their plugin store and then made it absolutely impossible to install third party plugins from anywhere except said store. That's just lame and abusive.
