Considering the vastly different uses people put different portions of Google's services towards, combining all of them seems rather counter-productive to me.
I suppose an option to partition different services into different relevancy 'portfolios' would solve the problem, but that puts a lot of burden on the user that, at least in my opinion, most users are not looking for.
