Disable Google Chrome Sign In and Sync

Every feature you've listed works without forced log-in. Taking away the choice to share everything about one's life with an ad company is what people are angry about.

There is no forced login. You can still use Chrome without logging in to anything. You can also disable Chrome Sync even if Chrome is logged in after logging in to gmail, so “forced” is the wrong term.

You can't use Google Chrome without logging into the browser itself if you use any Google service.

False. Incognito windows. You can also disable the login state sync as many have pointed out.

By disable do you mean use the temporary flag that is already removed in Chrome Canary?

Incognito windows are not a realistic alternative, because that adds more limitations.
