If that were really their motive, a better strategy would be making user agent string customization a first-class feature.

No, because approximately nobody would customize it.
Then generalize it by default. I just can't buy that Google really has this motive when they simultaneously are introducing WEI.
I think it’s a mistake to assume consistent intentions from a company as big as Google and a product as big as Chrome

They could also use the user agent: "", or omit the http header entirely.
You can already do that with extension, can't you?
An extension isn't first-class support, first-class means supported directly in the browser and easily discoverable.
