While OpenStreetMap data remains on Google Maps (if it still remains), can OSM get proper attribution on the Google Maps website like the other data providers? Technically it looks like an easy change, so a reasonable effort from Google to comply with the licenses of its source should include recognising the "BY" part of the CC license, in addition to launching a process to stop being in violation of the "SA" part (which is more difficult as I understand). It could be a small publicity for our project, same as it is a publicity for your other sources.
