This is since the beginning of Google and is needed for at least one of the basic measurement parameters of the page rank algorithm. I would lean out of the window and say without this Google would not be possible. If course it's possible to not alter the link, but then it's impossible to get the click information and count the views of the linked site. I just open it in new tab and copy the link there.

even opening the kebab menu signals Google about my interest, opening the page via their tracking link is far from proper way.

  .. as a shareholder company that is mostly (<- I suppose) decision-by-data driven, I would be keen to accumulate as much data as possible. Also, I would need to measure the usage of my products. Because I need to minimize my costs, while maximizing my income. The first is easy: throw everything out that is not really needed and optimize the processes, as off, hard- and software and other shapes. The second one is difficult, because it costs you money before you even get return. And even if you find the buyers and money spenders and so hypothetically can reach the maximum return, you still have to pay for it - actively minimizing the return. So.. get all the data you can. What it can be used for, can be seen afterwards. Also, getting signals and time stamps allows one to see the interaction of users with your product. So it can be optimized. I don't see a big Problem with that :) so I think it's a proper way for me as Google. What users think is not my problem. Use it or leave it. From me "google" you get good and optimized products for usage. May be not the best, but still good.
