Good points, though, I don't agree with "most people use the keyboard shortcuts anyway".
Most not-so-tech-savvy users I know, don't know keyboard shortcuts, find them hard to remember, clumsy and slow (at least until they learn how to really use them).
I think that googles decision was valid and the best compromise they could have made. I really don't see a way how they could achieve both, without compromising the user's privacy in a manner that doesn't require a specific browser or extension.
