I'm the thoughtless "contributor" that Solar mentioned, so obviously I share your sentiments - but I'm sorry, in the example discussed Google absolutely has information to make that decision. Unless they are willing to make the dangerous assumption that Tor traffic is safe, this case must look extremely suspect based on the information they have. Most users probably only log in from a few IPs in a discrete geographic area - suddenly logging in from all around the world probably looks very similar to stuffing of breached credentials by many parties.
I'm all for calling out Google on the ridiculous and anti-user things they do, but I feel that you are arguing from emotion and not reason in this specific case.
Solar, there's no confusion - thank you for moderating these lists extremely well. I appreciate all you do for us, including reigning me in!
Regards,
Caleb
