The Canadaland podcast did an episode on it too. I get the impression that the whole disruptive approach to high tech innovation isn't necessarily something we want when designing our urban environments. Our built environment isn't just some sort of app you can delete and forget about if the idea doesn't end up working out well in the end.

One might argue that many of the 20th Century architectural trends were disruptive, for better or for worse. Short of a massive catastrophe such as a fire, earthquake or war, there is usually little opportunity to convert existing urban landscapes on a massive scale.

Yes. I don't have an issue with the architecture. But I am not entirely comfortable with Google having all our data.
