How is the integrated Google Search service any different from the
integrated anti-phishing service? Both come with additional terms. Yet
Google Search is not debated here, while the anti-phishing services are.

Maybe if you could configure from which provider you would like to get
the anti-phishing information, it would be OK. That's the case with the
search bar too. There is nothing standing in the way of adding a search
engine that is a "free service". This is not yet possible with the anti-
phishing service.

The problem is that there are no free alternatives. And I'm not
convinced that the current solution is non-free. Also, I don't think
Canonical or Shuttleworth can just come up -on the spot- with a good
definition of a free service and with a policy on them. That needs a lot
of debate.
