No, what we should not have done is used an unregistered and unreserved TLD for testing/development. What Google has done is registered the .dev TLD, and started to use it for development.

They were already using it for development. Just like everyone else. They "officially" took it away from everyone else, and then forced it to be TLS-only.

This is the internet development equivalent of the copyrighting of the song "Happy Birthday to You".
