Are people ever going to understand that Google is an advertising company, not a technology company? Apple makes products that help us. Google just wants to shove ads in our faces 24/7/365.
Here's a partial list of Google owned technology companies, most producing products or services that "help" people. At worst, you could say Google is an adverting and technology company. One could make the argument that Google is more of a technology company than Apple.
Alpental Technologies - Wireless Technology
Skybox Imaging - Satellite Imaging firm
Quest Visual - Maker of the augmented reality translator app Word Lens
Stackdriver - Cloud computing
SlickLogin - Internet Security
Impermium - Internet Security
Boston Dynamics - Robotics Company
Meka Robotics - Robotics Company
Redwood Robotics - Robotics Company
Industrial Perception - Robotics Company
SCHAFT, Inc. - Robotics Company
DeepMind Technologies - Artificial Intelligence company

There's also:
Titan Aerospace and Divide. In fact Google has made 14 known acquisitions so far this year alone. Twitch will likely make it 15 shortly according to industry rumor.
The robotics and AI purchases make sense and are likely all under the same umbrella now, but with some of the others I'm concerned whether Google has the managment teams in place to be able to make the best use of them. That's a lot to take in.
Lawsuits where Motorola demands excessive fees for standard-essential patents are pretty evil - Motorola has lost them all, and has been threatened with penalties by the European Union and the Justice Department over its tactics.

Mostly a waste of money, more like it. Look at google glass - you can call it a hardware product, but its purpose is first to gain publicity (it's not going to be profitable), and second to serve ads to those dumb enough to buy it.

Nope, no ads on Google Glass. Devs are banned from monetizing any user data too.
Section 2: Advertisements
No Ads. You may not serve or include any advertisements in your API Client.
Data Usage. You may not use user data from your API Client for advertising purposes. You may not sell or transmit any user data received from your API Client(s) to a third-party ad network or service, data broker, or other advertising or marketing provider. For the avoidance of doubt, user data from the API Client(s) may not be used for Third-Party Ad Serving ("3PAS"). http://mashable.com/2013/04/16/google-glass-no-ads/

Well, Google doesn't have to let anyone know how profitable they are once released, either. My company has a dozen Glass units for which we're working on apps (though not my team). Our customer is planning to buy ametric assload.

You're right, they don't have to let us know sales numbers but some projections are looking good.
If the military and law enforcement adopt this technology the sales numbers will explode. Sports teams, virtual tours, operating rooms - the applications are almost endless. Good luck to you!
So one example, despite the rest of their infrastructure and talent proving otherwise, is enough? Hardly.
Apple's talent is for hardware and the software specifically made for it, not services which is where data mining is most efficient.
Apple has been convicted of price fixing, anti poaching tactics, there was also a case previously about Apple saving GPS location data of users despite them saying they weren't. You're kidding yourself if you think morality is their top priority.

You’re kidding yourself if you think this is the truth.
You’re not this stupid. Even living in a police state, you can comprehend why privacy is important.
I certainly do. However that's not what you said you find scary. You said you find scary that some people think Apple would use mined data for profit. I can't understand what you would possibly find scary about that suspicion.

Many agencies are looking to buy Google Glass.

Looks like you're wrong on two out of two counts.
Having interested buyers doesn't means it will be profitable.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

That’s not an argument.
Even living in a police state, you can comprehend why privacy is important.
They may not have the infrastructure or the talent for it. See Apple Maps.
So one example, despite the rest of their infrastructure and talent proving otherwise, is enough? Hardly.
Then it's time to disconnect the ethernet from your router and turn off the phone because outside of the that your not going to stop it.
I have a little Logitech Broadcaster that I really like.

Where did he claim or insinuate morality is Apple's top priority?
