You've got to consider the 2nd order effects. Remove autocomplete=off? Developers will be forced to make their own DIY crappy text inputs just to get rid of it. And break everything but English input in the process.

I mean sure but there’s no reason this can’t occupy the same space as the other website toggles like reader mode and permissions.

I think these features should be like the notifications pop-ups “This site requested that Chrome not automatically fill out forms. Tap here to enable autofill anyway for this site.”
