This may seem like pedantry, but neither Chrome for desktop, nor Chrome for Android are open source.
I'd see the main general motivations for something like MicroG as being a sense of trust, privacy, control. As long as even 0.1% of any packaged end-product is closed source, this isn't possible.
From https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/faq https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/faq :
> Is Chrome for Android open source?
> Chrome for Android is derived from Chromium. Since the launch of the first version, we have steadily open sourced all the critical components. You can build various Chromium components for Android as used in Chrome for Android using the instructions here.
This is just a long way of saying "no"
