You mention that reliance on Google is bad—I’d be interested to hear more about why you think that’s true. (I agree that EA relies on Google services a lot.)
It seems that if we can trust Google, then the in-transit encryption that Gmail provides is good enough.
Suffice to say I don’t interact with EA all that much mainly because I will not provide personal information to a google-docs form.
In line with previous remark: using google is perfectly fine. Once (nearly) all lines of communications rely on google there might be some problems, e.g. you won’t hear a lot from me.

Uhm. This would take another very long post.
