This all makes perfect sense from a market perspective. Why tell the user what is wrong, when you can silently fail and make the user blame the website? The goal of Google is to gaslight users away from using technologies that Google does not like. And of course they prefer that you use an unencrypted connection over a self signed certificate. They want you be connected to a larger system in order to benefit from TLS. If Google were to just cut to the chase, they would just forbid downloads from any domains that they didn't charge a fee to approve. Malware will of course get through sometimes, but Google will still get paid. They want to turn the web into an app store. But the saddest thing of all, is that Mozilla will replicate whatever dark patterns Google implements, without any benefit to themselves or their users.
