I may well have missed something though, and if you can point me to this aspect somewhere I'd appreciate it.

Don't think so. The real issue is that it's impractical for Google to get the permission of each and every author, so they tried to set up a system where author's could opt out, i.e. If you have a problem with google selling your book, you could tell them not to. However, some seemed to think that even this small effort was way too much.
