I've made data entry software for the past 20 years. I've had plenty of tasks where users just wanted autocomplete off, many of them for privacy and security concerns. From a UX perspective, it's usually distracting and not useful on large forms, especially on fields that have small comments that tend to vary only slightly but at a part in the value that's cut off by the stupid drop down that doesn't expand beyond the width of the field for some reason. You get a huge list of things that all look the same. And sometimes that stupid long list is blocking a part of the form that has data you need to see to know what you need to enter into the field you're on.
There's a 100 other great reasons on there already. I really hope they don't do this. Most of my user base uses Chrome and I will start getting old tickets re-opened that I won't be able to fix without horrible hacks.
