These are useful performance indicators for sure, but I don't understand how these are different than the metrics already built into Chromium's "Lighthouse" page speed audit (the "Audits" tab in the inspector).
Is the difference now that they will be more heavily weighed in search engine ranking? The article wasn't super clear on this, and the explanatory links seemed to push towards drinking a lot of Google kool-aid (eg. to measure the Core Web Vitals you must use Chrome UX report, and to do that you must use Google BigQuery, and to do that you must create a Google Account _and_ a Google Cloud Project. Wow.)
On closer inspection this whole thing is just a thinly veiled advertisement for GCP. No thanks.
