There are good arguments for it, but it's also not a coincidence that they happen to align with Google's business objectives. Ex it's hard to issue a TLS cert without notifying Google of it.

There are public logs of every TLS cert issued by the major providers. This benefits Google.

Kinda like how Wikipedia benefits Google. Or public roads benefit Uber. Or clean water benefits restaurants
