I'm sorry, but Occams razor tells me that Google proposed this to further strengthen their monopoly on the web browser market and make sure their ads and tracking cannot be avoided.

Seriously. When someone tells you that they don't have a hidden agenda, it means they absolutely have a hidden agenda. Normal people don't say that.

Exactly. Their ads.

They are totally fine with people applying content filters for other companies.

They recently added telemetry to the go tools. The main guy responsible for the change wrote two blog posts first. Then they kept referring to it in the GitHub issue. They were able to thus frame it as if it were an opt-in vs opt-out discussion where everyone agreed that it was obviously necessary. Real people (our peers) kept referring dissenters to the blog posts like it is the Holy Bible.

Normal people who are constantly subject to conspiracy theorists accusing them of having hidden agendas will certainly tell you that they don't have a hidden agenda. It's up to you to choose to join the conspiracy nuts or not.
