come on, google lives from (personal) information. I wouldn't be too naive with it.
I'm trying to look at it like an engineer, not a paranoid ignorant xxx...

What the hell can Google do with the wifi data captured? Nothing. It is useless junk. No real context, and not a lot data anyway (600GB for all the streetview operations together makes very little data per AP).
Now if they were touring around in the same streets all the time, things would be different.

If my AP would work without protection, I'd fear my neighbors more than Google. They have permanent listening abilities....

and anyway, this was offtopic....
