While is at the same time questionable that it actually improves privacy at all and likely will not be ad-block able.

Convincing them to install a ad-blocker is one thing, but convincing them to use a completely different browser is way harder. Furthermore if google pushes it through it's quite likely that it's just a matter of time until many sites will refuse to work if you don't have it enabled (similar as some sites don't work if you have an ad-blocker enabled). So then it would be just a matter of time until many alternative browsers (e.g. firefox) are forced to have it enabled by default.
