There's a strong case to be made that the vast majority of Chrome users aren't equipped to evaluate this question. These users are very unlikely to know if they're on an untrusted network and thus unable to make use of the kind of very useful switch you wisely suggest.
Perhaps offering a configuration option for the small percentage of technically sophisticated users who are willing to look in settings for it? Certainly Chrome Enterprise (which is a configuration management system, not a pay-for enterprise software offering) offers strong settings management tools.
Strictly from a security perspective, you always assume your network is untrusted and untrustworthy (and use protocols designed to work just fine in such situations). Especially when serving users who aren't equipped to make their own educated decisions. Can you help me understand why Chrome might want to behave otherwise?
