  Google is a web business, that’s their whole thing. They made a browser to invest in the web itself because what is good for the web is good for Google, and happens to be good for all of us.
This is a panglossian take that belongs in the year 2005.

Google is less a 'web business' than it is an 'advertising business', a 'surveillance business', and a 'finance business'.

Consequently, it is false that 'what is good for the web is good for Google'. AMP, and the Ad-blocking prohibition are evidence of this.
