I downloaded Chrome on a new laptop an hour ago (at my employer's request, I'd use Firefox myself) and was certainly not aware of this.
This information was not on any screen at any point. There was a default-checked checkmark for some general statistics sharing which I only noticed after clicking download (because it was small and below the download button), but didn't click through to the privacy policy to learn more.
Guess I should have read the privacy policy. I'm trying to find what it said now, but I can't see it anymore because different terms apply to Linux downloads and there's no button to download the Windows version. Basically, visiting the same page in Firefox on Linux (instead of Edge on Windows, which I don't have access to atm) gives me different contents and no checkmark.
