Reading this was infuriating. The usability rationale is a blatant lie. They did it to attempt to get Chrome users to adopt Google services more, just like they have with Android, changing what were formerly simple, generic apps to tie into google services (Play Music instead of an audio player, Downloads advertising Google Drive, Keep instead of a note taking app, etc). I like and use a lot of Google products but I don't appreciate my preferences being disregarded.
