Do you want every person in the world to run a line to your house, or do you want to have 1, and use that service to talk to them?

Except that is not what Google is doing. They have exclusive access to the one line that is preinstalled for all houses. Only they can use it. And if you want a different provider, you can't use that same line. You have to pay for the installation of a line from that provider with your own cash.
Huh, Chrome doesn't come preinstalled unless you are talking about ChromeOS.
I guess I just don't see the problem in a feature like this in a third party browser software that is completely optional to install and use and has lots of alternatives.
Yeah, so people with a choice of browsers might prefer it not be the one exposing exclusive APIs for its parent company, and it might affect that company's "we're not evil" image.
This also works on all chromium based browsers such as Edge, Vivaldi and Brave
Yes, and then I want them to be heavily regulated.
