There's perhaps the risk of it becoming the major anchor in the web of trust. That said, you're probably right with respect to the other keyservers being no better.
Precisely why they should be adopting Google's End-to-End system. Yahoo is already supporting it. Also it would be better if everyone went with the same (solid) standard than doing their own thing.
I'm looking forward to when they inevitably (I hope) add support for visualising the Web of Trust
