A browser should let the user control their browsing experience and make it extremely easy to block all manner of user hostile content, starting with trackers.
I don't disagree with you, but I think parent's point still stands that "user hostile content" is defined by a company that could change their definition at any time.
A truly user friendly solution would be to allow community curation of blocklists and full user control over which they choose to enable. Google is not interested in providing a good user experience though, they're interested in sucking out as much value from the user as possible, using dark patterns when convenient.
With that, I also agree that Google couldn't be trusted to editorialize.
