This is the problem:

Exactly how the rest of the world feels about this is not necessarily relevant, though. Google owns the world's most popular web browser, the world's largest advertising network, the world's biggest search engine, the world's most popular operating system, and some of the world's most popular websites. So really, Google can do whatever it wants. Other projects like Chrome's "Privacy Sandbox" ad platform and the adblock-limiting manifest V3 have been universally panned, but Google has kept right on trucking with the projects. There have been some small project tweaks and delays, but Google keeps marching forward.

If the theory that consumers are rational actors were true, then the world would simply switch to a new "most popular web browser" etc anf Google's hegemony would end.

Unfortunately that's not how the world really works and plenty of people will sit there obediently being milked of their data and influenced in their behaviour.
