Yeah, I don’t like getting told “gg” when I get destroyed in a game. Wasn’t really a good game to me.

Out of 650 games I’ve played, I’ve only ever had two people tell me when “gg” when they lost to me. So, when 99.7% of the time, only the winners say “gg”, then yeah, it seems my bias has been confirmed empirically.

I sincerely doubt you were collecting these stats as you were playing those 650 games just in case one day you would need to have the evidence to "prove" this point.

I don’t know if you can go back to see what messages people sent, but if you can do that, I’ll look back through them. Otherwise, I’ll make screenshots for future games.

I nearly always say it. Win or lose. However, when I beat someone by 20+ points (especially if they fail to get to 70 or something), I'm often torn because, well, it was not a good game and I'm inclined to choose the "Thanks for the game!" response from the menu.
