And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

This is a bad thing. Google could easily make it so you can’t use any of their services like YouTube and Gmail without using their browser.
I believe that even in the current state of affairs they’d be hit with an anti-trust lawsuit if they do that – plenty of companies who would enjoy hurting Google.
What they can do, however, is make their services run slower on other browsers, as they’re already doing.
Or take the “agnostic platform” approach and provide incentives for creators and the tools to limit access based on this.
