What would the crime be?

  It isn't that the creation of such a group is itself a crime. It's that such a group creates a formal paper trail that (whatever crime Google could be accused of) could come under discovery. And "We thought about this and came to the 'wrong' conclusions" is no defense, and the penalties for such a paper trail can be higher than the penalties for "we didn't think of this."

      Specifically, US companies are required to follow laws that uphold (The US government's interpretation of) human rights.

        So there’s no additional legal worry here..

          Indications that a company considered alternatives and chose the "wrong" one can indicate intent, which can aggravate damages depending on the law in question.
