Your made a general statement about petitions not working, I provided some indications that they have worked. You didn't provide any qualifiers as to why petitions don't work in your original statement and your "two important differences" don't take away from the success of the petition (in my opinion).
And you seemed to have missed the last sentence of my post.

The one example you provided was a poor example. Find me an example where change happened with only an online petition and some outraged blogs/tweets and no actual action taken.
And Google already is giving developers time to migrate. They've got a little over 3 months, which is years in internet time.
