it's not about trusted/untrusted as in what will they do with the data. it's entirely about will the service be available long term or if theGoogs will deprecate it in the future.
I have no skin in the game of push notification infrastructure, but we've seen plenty of ShowHNs where a critical part of the Show is a total dependency on a 3rd party shim. While this isn't something like a dependency on a Twitter API that suddenly got yanked, it is still something that devs should really consider. Especially given theGoogs' track record.
Maybe this isn't the case it is a library deeply embedded in the Android ecosystem, but anytime a ShowHN mentions a dependency on theGoog it sets of the SpideySenses
