I'm not going to use the Google sign in because I am happy with my separate EN userID, password, and 2FA setup. I am not sure any other company in the world could do what Google has taken on there. I'd honestly say Google is the best at it, which is why Brian Krebs' security blog moved to Google.

Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and a very few others have become masters of hosting massive amounts of data securely and privately. Contracting to use Google hosting services, just like thousands of other companies do, has nothing to do with independence. This isn't "another" step towards google and away from Evernote independence because there wasn't a first step to begin with. They just sign in to a new service with their Google Account. It is faster because at a minimum, a new user doesn't need to set up a new account with Evernote. Is this another step towards Google and a step away from Evernote's independence? Google needs a user name/email and password.
