No one is saying you shouldn't be sceptical. What OP is saying is only that you should not form an opinion on the subject based off of what some pro-third-party-cookies advertising-people are saying. He is pointing out that this is clearly an attack from someone with a lot to loose, not saying "trust google".

They aren't wrong when they point out that it gives a massive information advantage to Google; but the pro-privacy solution is neither 3rd party cookies nor the "privacy" API. Both provide a means by which to uniquely identify and track the behaviour of a person.

Besides, it's not wrong to listen to the losers; you might learn about some unfair competition.
