I think they wouldn’t do that, since they could do the redirect within Chrome itself. The only reason they would do this is to grab users on other browsers, but that would mean everyone else stopping to use Google DNS, which means less data to collect or sell.

Yes that would be the purpose.

I agree, which is why I also agree with you why they haven’t done it yet, but I was speaking to how they could do it, not the fallout from them doing so.
