Oh wow, they buried the lede on this one: "Pornhub data is transmitted to Google via its analytics platform..." It's one thing to have data collected and transmitted to advertisers, but I don't think anyone wants their Pornhub viewing history linked to their Google account. The company claims it only goes to Google in an anonymized form, but of course it would say that.

Anonymizing data is hard to do well and most of the time it's not.
Let's not pretend Google couldn't figure out a way to map it back.
