Please, could someone elaborate how a forced split would solve the problem? Behind the scenes still the same people isn't it?

Each product could stand on its own and act in the best interest of its users (could not would, not a given). E.g. Android and Chrome would act less like lead generation for ads. Why do certain browsers come with adblocking built in but Chrome does not? Because Google says ads.
Why would Google support Chrome if it wasn’t made to make them money?

If Chrome was a split off product, I expect Google to charge users to use it. Why wouldn’t they?

How many browsers do you know that charge their users?
