There is absolutely no way I would let Google (or any other browser provider for that matter) have a copy of my Credit Card Details.
Nobody is forcing you to do that. Your browser is very likely going to have a "Don't remember" option.
You're free to keep your credit card details in your password manager or type it out every time.

You do realise that storing them (be it Google, LastPass, or any other hopefully trusty manager) is safer than carrying them around on you, right?

The parent is concerned about privacy, not security.
Really? I remember over a decade ago credit card information was being stored in inputbox history in Firefox and they added patches to prevent from storing cc info. Of course that was a side-effect/bug of the autocomplete fields and I'm sure in Chrome it was a planned addition, but still...

That’s more a failure of the form creator as password fields were never persisted to the history. If you don’t tell the browser that the input is for sensitive data it won’t protect it of course.
Worth saying today Chrome already supports storing credit card details for auto-fill.
