I don't know the situation, but in theory, it could work fine for you, but 1% of the functionality could have been not working properly for 1% of users. That's thousands of unhappy users that would decide that Google delivered unfinished not working product and that quality of their products sucks.

I would also say money wasted on providing support for those users but I'm still not sure if such thing exists.

Then they should have waited. Google gets zero leeway for this kind of behaviour from me. Especially considering how hard they leveraged google.com to push chrome.

Google is the new Microsoft. History repeats itself. The major difference this time is you aren’t the customer, rather more the product, but that’s just semantics in this specific case.
