Stuff like this is never an outright order to break competitors. Most of the "features" requested for google sites would be solely chrome "features" that would break on the rest of the browsers.
Google also did the same thing with Internet Explorer/Edge where they put a transparent div on top of youtube videos that was "designed to give focus to videos" but broke youtube videos for all IE users.

In real life they did it accidentally, and then kept it when realised it works against Microsoft. Also kept the plausible deniability? :)
