Not because it's good, but because it's Google marketing it as a privacy "enhancement"
It is not, it is simply another way to frame privacy violation from Google as some sort of good thing, and I believe as more techy people it is somewhat our duty to inform others about this.
Like when Google and Facebook remind you to take a "privacy checkup" which is bullshit and does nothing for your actual privacy from them.
Their "privacy checkup" is pretty much equal to "can you give us your phone number so we can more closely link it to your identity please? 👉👈"
