Google has an obsession with automating everything and employing at best no humans at all. Same thing with Chrome extensions. Mozilla has solved this same problem in near perfection by just having a few actual human beings look over the code of newly submitted or updated extensions. Google has magnitudes more money than Mozilla, so they could easily afford to just copy that, too.
