Yes, Google deserves to be distrusted and avoided as a whole, but Google Scholar is a genuinely net good for humanity.

I have similar feeing for Gmail (it's effective anti spam engine), google maps and google docs (which pioneered shared docs. It feels outdated on many fronts now, but it was a pioneer).

"Google is evil, except for all the Google products Google produced"

Honestly, if we compare Google to Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and Meta, isn't Google the least evil one?

No, I’d put them in this descending order of evilness: Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Apple.
