It isn't just "make ad-blocking (near) impossible" as the current title of the submission suggests. It is:

Make browsing the internet possible only on Chrome, Safari or Edge (with no modifications or extensions). No competition allowed in browsers.

Make browsing the internet possible only on macOS, Windows, Android or iOS (no custom Android distributions, definitely no LineageOS or GrapheneOS or whatever). No competition allowed in Operating Systems, especially no open source operating systems.

Make crawling the internet possible only to Google. No private crawling and no competing search engines.

Let me know if I've missed anything...

If that would be the case, then countries with bad relationship with the USA will end up having the real free internet because these tech services and products would be undesirable or inaccessible to them. They might risk political persecution for their online activities but so do people in the "West". The 3rd world will be forced to use homegrown solutions and there's a possibility that they might end up much more innovative when not everything is about advertisements.
