some governments, especially autocratic or authoritarian.

Even govts that may be in some political climates authoritarian can and will want exceptions to this.

There is no world that I see where decisions being made by Google are a good or reasonable choice for all parties, even ones you might think would side with this decision.

Remember, this give Google more control than an authoritarian govt. Sure, there may be a cost of doing business with some countries, however, even in those cases, this is bad for them - Google can just say "sucks to suck" and they either must use their product or develop their own, but if they use their product, *Google still has more control over that authoritarian govt than the people in it*

Put simply, now, Google Is Evil.
