I literally worked on the webkit for most of a decade. I also worked on and developed a lot of ITP.
ITP is not 3rd party cookie blocking.
3rd party cookie blocking has been the default in safari and webkit since literally the first beta.
ITP is a response to companies like google and Facebook developing techniques to circumvent 3rd party cookie blocking as it became more popular (due to Firefox, Safari, and mostly iOS safari). Google is not developing an equivalent to ITP, it's literally flipping a single flag that they decided to turn off when they launched chrome because they're an advertising company that was dependent on them.
You need to understand here: Google is not working on releasing anything equivalent to ITP or whatever Firefox calls their version, they're working on something much more basic, and it's something they have already circumvented (which is why Safari and Firefox have their complex ITP or whatever mechanisms).
