No.
If Google does something on Chrome OS - the EU isn't going to scrutinize it the same way if MS does something on Windows.

You're talking about maybe ~1% of search that Bing Chat is practically available to (in Europe).
It's a lot less risky for Microsoft to do what they did than for Google to just open the floodgates in Europe.
