I cannot find any of the terms "ownership", "owner", to "own" or "encryption keys" in the GPLv3.
So what are you talking about?

As you quoted, the point is "transferring the right of possession and use" in legalese.
To "own" (as a legal term) is not a requirement.

Which?
If you really know any (and are not just trolling), please provide a pointer to Google software for the aforementioned target audience ("big licensees") with GPLv3 components.
I cannot see any in AOSP, ChromeOS, Chromium etc.!

Please stop FUDding and substanciate your statements with sources.

Side note:
Many of the FSF's explanations around the GPLv3 state some things (their details vary), which are definitely not in the GPLv3.
Some believe this is done deliberately.
