Would it bloat Chrome significantly if Google included their web fonts in the browser? And, you know... the other browsers can actually download them? I know it doesn't seem like fair play, but... I'm surprised they haven't done it yet.

Can't track the usage this way, though.
Sure they can, just get Chrome to notify Google whenever a site uses one of the pre-downloaded webfonts.

Chrome is pretty chatty with Google; you probably wouldn't notice the extra traffic from these notifications.

Not sure if it applies to fonts too but https://decentraleyes.org
Fonts have versions, too; adding them all to the browser would be nigh on impossible.
