What's the point of a google coin?

If it's centralized and controlled by them, that takes away a huge benefit of bitcoin so why would anyone switch over to google?

So de-centralisation is the most important property of bitcoin?  People will transfer to any cryptocoin that's more convenient, if that's Googlecoin, they will go there.  de-centralisation is only an issue for certain political aims.
