And what happens when Google are the one doing the MITTM attack?
It all comes down to who do you trust.

Has Google ever modified other websites' pages like this?

Yes, I believe they call it Adsense.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdSense "How AdSense works
(1) The webmaster inserts the AdSense JavaScript code into a webpage."
So this is the webmaster modifying his own page. It's not Google injecting Javascript into someone else's page like CMA Communications or Comcast is said to be doing.
That's why I bought Google stock after they got into Android, as Android makes it possible for Google to now step in & protect against the MITTM attacks by ISP's blocking their ads. The OS gets the final word before it displays content to the user & it can detect & block these.
Now, they just have to deploy the fix to Android...
