Google already does this. G-suite is a Trojan horse for their browser, which is a Trojan horse for their advertising engine. They'll disable suite features, or make it mysteriously not run in your "outdated" browser. You'll have to move to something Google approved just to be able to collaborate with your team, or your friends.
