Absolutely correct. By the way, have you visited Google with a non-Chrome browser? They’ll encourage you to use Chrome for “the best experience.” Seems very much like leveraging, never understood why people don’t make a bigger deal about this.

Most people use Chrome already so they don't see how aggressive Google popup spams anyone not using it. Meanwhile, Microsoft tries a subtle reminder about Edge, and there's a media ruckus about it for days.
