This is true in the sense that Google is running an experiment (an "origin trial") and they didn't need anyone's permission to do that. (None of the other browser vendors need to get permission to run an experiment either.) That's different from making it a web standard. They will want cooperation from other browser vendors (not random people on the Internet) for that. I doubt they'll make a serious effort at convincing anyone of anything until they decide what they want to do, which will be based on the results of the experiment.
