Users could switch from Google search at any moment, would you say search is not an actual asset to buy?
Chrome is funded by Google search.
Why would anyone buy it without Google search?
The answer to your question is simple - because you can get funded by Google to keep its search the default
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?
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.
1. Google must sell Chrome
2. Google must continue to pay the new buyer tens of billions for the right to be default engine
3. Google is disallowed from making a browser ever again
4. Google must abandon Chromium, and their engineers should stop contributing to Chromium because of #3
I feel sorry for Google. The Biden administration is absolutely clueless on how tech works and the Trump administration will hate Google regardless.
So, no, of course you guessed wrong again in your 1-4
On the main topic: do you see the the ability to leave does not not an asset make?
I'd provide an argument if the question was more coherent.
But that's enough of your trolling for me, goodbye

Yikes.
