That's a very good question, and as you know I'm not a lawyer! However, I would say this: - I haven't read the full decision but it's certainly scoped. I don't think it affects GMail or whatever. - If you rely on Google’s ads as a publisher, you have a different consent path...

...that Google forced on you, and that isn't affected by this decision (that I can tell). - There is a notion of reasonableness involved. It can be near impossible for companies in some spaces to opt out of Google. I would expect regulators to understand that.
