This is speculation. DNS is a tool enterprise uses to manage networks. It's unlikely that Google will upend this so ads can be watched.
There's a risk that IT departments nationwide would just deploy Edge or Firefox instead of Chrome to retain the ability to manage and secure networks. This is not what Google wants.
They literally already do this with YouTube ads, what are you talking about? This is a thing that already happens.
Edit: there are already sites I can't visit due to work blocking some domains and those sites have the "disable your ad blocker" with no way to say no thanks. It isn't google that will break it. It'll be an attester and it'll be the site that chooses that attester.
