Google does something like this with the GMail app on iPhone— you click links and instead of just opening Safari, it pops up a "which browser to use" selector modal, which is really just an advertisement for you to install Chrome.

This is a changeable setting (though obviously it sucks that you have to make a choice to use your default browser).

Hamburger > Settings > Default Apps (in "General" at the bottom)

It's such an obvious dark pattern; I'm really surprised Apple accepts this from Google, but I expect there's some mutually assured destruction horse-trading that goes on behind the scenes with players this large.
