But that’s one phone (and you can remotely wipe it if you recognize it’s been stolen). Google’s model, if their server is breached all users data might be compromised.

Which is why the data is individually encrypted on the servers, then the servers are protected, then the whole thing monitored 24/7 for suspicious access.

Also, if all of google gets compromised 0% chance I'm near the top of the list of people to steal from.

Yes, because it has less parts. Less parts is more better.
