They have much more to be annoyed at. VPN companies, The Tor Project, AD blockers, etc
I use the Google One VPN[0] to cloak my real IP, but only sparingly. For most of my Internet surfing I use a two hop VPN setup. One VPN router with kill switch mode, and then I connect to another VPN service on top of that, a sort of fake Tor / private relay setup.
I don't funnel all my traffic into Google One's VPN. I like to compartment and not put all my eggs in one basket. Looks like I'll be doing the same when this new Google-owned IP cloaking feature ships.

VPN companies, The Tor Project, AD blockers, etc While I'm sure they dislike those, the key word here is rival - the claim is that Google has its own ad business, and is only deploying privacy features in a way that hurts other ad companies.
