Google is also a search company, the product from which the majority of their ad revenue comes. Blobifying the web indiscriminately breaks search, so it is not in their interest to push this to reap some x% revenue loss from ad blockers. Incidentally, or not, a traditional wordprocessor itself is not an interesting search result and makes a perfect candidate for this type of rendering. There already exists compatibility layers with search for published documents. So absolutely nothing is lost for anyone, and I think it is an overgeneralization to take this as a sign of obvious doom to come.
