I've been lurking HN for years. I'm not the one insulting anyone or accusing people of being in bad faith.
>>It is political in the same way as everything is political.

No, it isn't. It's a descriptive statement. If you describe politics as "what we do together", which is the only definition that makes a discussion on Google's business practices (which is totally in the spirit of the website), then essentially everything is politics because of the effect discussing the world has on what should be done.
