I've become a little adverse to Google ever since it's tried to steal and sell my data at every possible opportunity.
The 'you have to have a Google+ account to rate products on the Play Store' and 'you have to have a Google+ account to comment on YouTube' attitude broke the camel's back as far as I'm concerned. But I'm interested in non-Google alternatives.

I never had any interest in doing either of those things so the whole google+ account wasn't a problem.
The amount of data google keep on people is scary, but they're one of the few that seem to be able not to get it stolen, or sell it in a way that makes you identifiable.

You may well be right,
but there's something about them trying to get their hands on that sheer volume of personal data that makes them intrinsically untrustworthy in my book.

I try to live as dull a life as possible in order to render myself less marketable.
Doesn't seem to be making much of a difference though.

That's because if they lose it they can no longer exclusively "monetise" it by selling it to advertisers
