So you're talking about Chrome password syncing? AFAIK this is encrypted so that Google doesn't see those passwords; only the user can see them. Normal people love syncing everything between their devices so Google is just giving them what they want. Note that Apple, Firefox, and password managers provide the same feature.

Passkeys are more secure than passwords so hopefully the world migrates to that over time.
