IANAL, but I don't think you're interpreting that correctly.

I believe section 3.b and 3.c are the rights this is referring to, where you can request the source, and even be changed for the physical act. Suggesting this extends to the license of the implementation of their contact system doesn't make sense. No method of contact, except physical, is going to meet your requirements, including sending postage, where the software used to sort your mail is not GPL.

I think it’s nuanced

I can see an argument that Google is requiring you to enter into a separate agreement with them (the terms they require you to agree to when using Google Forms) to request access to the GPL licensed source.

You do not enter into an agreement with the vendor of the software the postal service uses to sort your mail.

If they do force you into google forms and you can't send a letter then that's a potential issue.

Making you run javascript is a weaker argument...

Don't they force you to sign up for a Google account to be able to gate access to a Google Drive file?

No. As long as the sharing permission is “Anyone with the link”, then anyone can download from that link with wget or whatever.

Is that the permission they use? Who knows? But it’s at least possible.
