> Google would lose privacy-conscious users otherwise.

Would these users be using Chrome in the first place?

Why not? Privacy is not the only goal even for paranoids. It is all about compromise. Otherwise you would use lynx or wget -- truly private web clients. Or at least turn off JS.

Why are you speaking as if there are no better alternatives than Chrome? Other than a few organizations who decided that only supporting Chrome as a browser is enough for their sites and some extensions, there are viable web browser alternatives from companies which don't make their money off of user's data.
