If we lived in a sane world, people would simply pay for what they use. Then we could avoid all this confusion, and google would have large (monetary) incentive to protect it's customers.

This is some proper, indoctrinated, corporate bootlicker mentality.
95% of the phones on the market will spy on you, send your data back to the mothership, and they will sell your data to 3rd parties, and they cost $1400-$2000. You pay for the phone which is not even yours after the purchase, and then you still get ads, spied on, and your data sold. Google has a very large monetary incentive already to protect their customers and they do jack shit about the malware/adware in the play store.
TVs are even worse. LG TVs were just found to spy on you and nearby devices while they are off. Do you think those TVs are free? No, they also cost a fortune.
The current state of the world is that even if you pay you will get ads, spying, and malware. Get your head out of your ass.
Google and Meta are entirely within their rights to make YouTube, Search, Facebook and Instagram into paid services for all users. Nobody is forcing them to advertise or to participate in criminal fraud with scam ads.
They are heading pretty steadfastly into multi billion dollar lawsuits the way they are going.
Multi-billion dollar lawsuits aren't such a disincentive when they are making hundreds of billions in profit every year.
