If a peer to peer system of interest caught on, I'm sure google would be glad to run 90% of the nodes (incognito) to have some view of what's happening therein.

Well, that depends on the scenarios that the threat model tries to identify.

The question at this point (or rather in that specific moment) is what will lead to classifying malicious actors, and how these malicious actors can be identified permanently.

If it's a blocked IP: not a good solution. If it's a TLS certificate for said peer: probably better.

Fighting anti censorship mechanisms is really hard due to its statistically local-true nature. The buckets have to be carefully sorted and randomized with multiple geolocations, ISPs, and fully-encrypted network protocols - to the very least in order to make this work.

All they would have to do is "support" the p2p network in chrome/chromium and because of the ease of use the majority of p2p nodes will be running code written by Google.
