> Google uses quite a lot of other domains for analytics and tracking than google.com
... for now. It's just a matter of time before analytics and tracking will move. Just like maps has moved to google.com in order for search to also get access to the current location (which is a permission I'd gladly give to maps, but not to the search engine)

They can do that, but it's a delicate choice: if google.com gets flagged as a "tracker domain", the google.com cookies will be deleted after 30 days of no interaction with google.com.
Probably not an issue for most of the users, but for those who don't use it very often, they'd get logged out. Not sure Google wants that.
I think the original point here is that almost everyone interacts with google.com daily.
As such, if a company with a non-add business attaches a tracking business to their existing domains, they can circumvent the deletion policies.

You can disable using precise locations in Google search, and Google will no longer request your location except for when there is a maps card in the result (which makes sense)
As with many things in ML and NN, the premise of the tech is that it won't be a 100% perfect solution, but it'll hopefully be good enough or better than what you have.
