I think that spike is just the two normal days between 22nd's curfew and 25's lockdown
Definitely not normal because you can see the spike in grocery stores. People were stocking up.

Perhaps because Google services are blocked in China and Android phones there don't have Play Services with Location History? You can't plot data you don't have ;)
There are millions of people in China with always on VPNs, and they still have a non-insubstantial business in the country. The thing is, the geographic data there is protected by law, and they don't want an espionage charge. The same is provably true for a suspicious missing of a few other countries with similar attitudes.
I'm ok with Google having this data. I'm not ok with governments having it.

But instead had they used is sliding window for the baseline (i.e. using the average of the mobility for the past 3 years) for any given day then seeing what this year's date is as compared to that we would see (hopefully) a dramatic decline.

If they are able to anonymously tell you that you were in the same building as someone who has tested positive for the virus then you could take extra precautions or further isolate yourself…
