They can already do that.
Chrome is funded by Google search.
Why would anyone buy it without Google search?

Yes, they can, so it's not an asset???
The answer to your question is simple - because you can get funded by Google to keep its search the default
But as many have said repeatedly here, people use Chrome BECAUSE it has Google's integrations. They choose to use Chrome because of Google. So why would anyone buy Chrome that is devoid of anything Google?
Further more, why would Google pay money to Chrome's buyer if they can simply spin up another browser used open source Chromium (which Google maintains), and start marketing that?
On the main topic: do you see the the ability to leave does not not an asset make?
The other things are also simple:
Saying things repeatedly doesn't make them universally true.
You don't need to buy anything, it can continue to be free, why did you make it up???
Google would pay because they can't make another leader overnight. Also they might be banned from doing so.
