The real question isn't whether Google's browser supports this, it's whether Google's servers support this. It may be that Google isn't adding it to the browser until it can commit to it on the server.

Allowing people to opt out of tracking would decrease the load on Google's servers.

That makes no sense whatsoever. There are a few websites which do request it, and the header will do no harm to the ones that don't.
