Until someone contributes a PR to remove the Google ping from the defaults, it can be deleted from the defaults this way:

SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.search_engines.delete(:google)

Alternatively, because the Google ping is currently the only default, you could also do SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.search_engines = {}
