You're asking Google to stop making most of their money. Their whole business is built around selling advertisers a targeted advertising platform.
- Advertising revenue of Google for 2019 (in billion U.S. dollars): 134.81 [1]
- Annual revenue of Google for 2019 (in billion U.S. dollars): 160.74 [2]
Sure, they should stop, people should not get fingerprinted across sites, these companies should not track us, but good luck getting them to comply with just asking.
