Let's assume Google can identify the user but doesn't get a referrer. So what? The only information Google receives is that some user visited some unknown website at a particular time. How exactly would that lead to Google increasing its profits?

They know users activity hours better that way. At scale that is valuable data.

But that's still not personal data.
