Likely the goal is to protect users from malicious apps, trying to get user to log in on a hosted browser component in order to scrape their data (or perform activities on behalf of user).

I think HN users often severely downplay the threats large companies are facing and frame every anti abuse measure as a coordinated attempt to shut down their indie browser fork.
People are having their lives ruined when their account gets breached which Google prioritizes over avoiding accidentally blocking a few odd users.
