agree. but why wouldn't you just use stock chrome? even if you're doing something sensitive it's not hard to block dataflows to the GOOG, and in all likelihood it doesn't matter for most testing.

One could just as easily ask the inverse: why not use Ungoogled Chromium when it's readily available and easy to install?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I favor things that are more removed from big tech.

In the context of testing, the "why not" is obviously because most of the users are using Google Chrome and not Ungoogled Chromium.
