There's a hint of hubris in this move, the way I see it. Google must have enough confidence in the interferential power of the data they've accumulated that they can now wash their hands of anti-privacy dark patterns and declare themselves pure. It's a huge PR win without having to commit to deep changes in their (primary) business model.

The finely tuned ML model that classified everything correctly before might catch fire and explode if the thing generating its data changes. In practice I assume that data has highly marginal value for them so the small percent of people who bother to use this won't matter much.
