This is false. The problem is that Google is trying to replace an open method of tracking users (third party cookies), with one which places them in the sole source of authority (FLoC, Topics, etc.).
If they did what every other browser has already done, and just blocked third party cookies entirely, because it's a security issue, they would not face a legal issue. In fact, they would be able to entirely defend the move behind "we're just doing what every other browser did first".
The choice to monopolize tracking instead of removing tracking is the issue at hand there.
