The entire notion that your IP address being such a dangerous thing is hilarious to me. Like, yeah it can be used as an attack vector, especially for DDOS attacks, but that's not a thing you'd have to worry about unless you're a large corporation, or live in an area like Canada who ONLY have static IP addresses. Why would any malicious person go through all the trouble to setup an IP attack when they'd have a much larger bang for their buck getting someone to click some phishing link and steal the user's session cookies?

A few years ago Google was bragging about being able to 'predict' a users movements (they have stopped doing that now). This raised a red flag straight away as that is near impossible unless the users are being followed to determine a pattern or routine. Google and others have been tracking our movements via our mobile phones for some time and I would imagine anyone who uses Google maps has given Google some very detailed information on their movements including the addresses of family and friends.

If you read their other announcements, it also says "Phase 0 will only proxy requests to domains owned by google" - That pretty convenient because those domains are already signed by Google RA - so who's going to know whether the https isn't intercepted - they already have access to the private/public keys of those domains anyways.
Besides that - Since Google is also a Root CA, Google would actually have the ability to set up their Proxy as a MiTM attack to send out fake certificates in very specific cases when requested by some government.
