There's an activist/social justice component happening here (I try to only participate in businesses and services which I can in good conscience philosophically support), and there's also a functionality issue here (why would I want to hang out somewhere where my friends can't hang out?).
*nods*
Personally, I find that I have to balance my activist tendencies with specific-to-me real world concerns; I'm just not in a position to be able to afford to make some of the stands I'd like to be able to.
Oddly (and as you've probably noticed), I'm feeling far more reactionary about G+ from the soapbox of my IRL name. That was kind of a surprise to me.
