This is not necessarily true - they could encrypt this data so that it requires a user password to read, and transmit these settings for client-side decryption. They probably don't though, and in all likeliness can read your WiFi password.
Google is going to have thousands of different passwords mapped to the SSID "linksys."

yes, but to be fair, this issue deserves to be more well known. it wont be fixed if google isn't blamed and shamed for it repeatedly.
'Blamed and shamed'?! I don't even think it's an issue, your wifi password isn't that of your bank account. They store your emails unencrypted for crying out loud, wifi passwords pale in comparison. It's a non issue.
And in addition to that they have the audacity to not make them accessible to the user! No way to look up your own wireless password in your phone, i.e. to tell a guest, thats just ridiculous.
On (jailbroken) iOS there is an app which displays all saved WIFI passwords. I am sure there are something similar to Androids.

Yes if you jailbreak you can do many things. That it requires a jailbreak is the insult.
