Almost any online transaction today (in the US, at least) involves a credit card or PayPal, either of which divulges your name and maybe location to the merchant. Bitcoin doesn't.
I don't know what to make of your strawman about Google. This thread was asking about problems Bitcoin solves.

It doesn't also need to end the arms race of consumer privacy in tech in order to be a useful advance for privacy.
