No single benchmark for the web

I'd also be skeptical of a benchmark created by a company that has a pretty big dog in the fight.

Yes, and no.

As OP points out, in order to optimize, there must be something to measure. This is Google saying the benchmark is what they'll be using as a measuring stick internally (and likely, in their marketing against competing browsers).

Does all of this make the benchmark a useful tool for Google? Yes.

Is it the best benchmark for cross-browser comparison? Probably not.
