Name collisions.
There are various fake crypto/blockchain-related fake TLDs you can add to your browser through browser extensions, but the risk of future name collisions is very real. And a domain name that doesn't even work in other browsers isn't useful at all. Having something as basic as "Share URL" not work results in a fundamentally broken (and bad) user experience.

This would not be a concern because Chrome has a massive install base. Similar to .onion, no one would register or potentially be able to register the one Google would adopt.
.onion now has rfc backing https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7686
