While I have issues with the rules of "the game", the current rules are better than the changes that Google are proposing, but since they are infinitely more powerful than me, I can only hope whatever body (W3C?) does not make it an official standard. As long as it's just an extra thing that Chrome/Chromium does, there's still hope for Google to get into legal trouble.
Fingers crossed that you're right. Definitely don't want to see them repositioning into an (even more) advantageous policy position. I imagine that a standards body such as the one you mentioned would be fairly careful about adopting anything proposed by a company without significant caution. At least that's how it works with some international standards agencies haha
