I don't need them at my fingertips (maps). If I travel, I plan my route ahead of need (there are other map sources... think offline or paper).
I also don't travel internationally, so I don't need immediate translation of every language. I'm also good with Spanish and some German and French, not that those are prevalent in my area (US).
It is a question of whether I need immediate gratification or can I wait. Since the cost of that immediate gratification via Google involves my loss of privacy, I find it too high a cost. To each their own.
If someone cannot avoid using Google tools, then they are owned and are "drinking the Koolaid:. In case you miss the reference it is to the Jonestown mass suicide.
I also don't use mobile devices and yes, that does place me in the minority. I also don't run into trees or lamp posts while walking.
I also don't use Microsoft, for similar reasons...
