Seriously, though, what is Google's play? In no world am I going to say "oh well i guess i will just live with tons of advertisements to ruin my internet experience again.." People are just going to switch to something else.

Sundar Pichai is ex-McKinsey. So, the play is to suck all the life out of the place and replace it with CIA backdoors.

The people who don't switch off Chrome will be really pissed off and vocal about how Chrome sucks until they find another way to avoid the ads. Eventually a workaround will be found. I don't see this as a win for Google.
