It just means if they want to do something bad then they can

If Google wanted to they could ban VPNs on all Chromium browsers and all the forks downstream would have to comply

More likely they can make it so only verified websites will load and down the line charge to be verified. It kills the open internet and the ability for anyone to make a website/host it where they want
