It can because the official Chrome auto-updates very reliably. They only have to support a few versions back. They could even force updates if they wanted.

None of that is true for Chromium. Do they really want to support the 10 year old Chromium from Debian stable?

They already don't support Chromium. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/refs/heads/...

(I mean, they're Google, they don't support anything that doesn't require payment from the user and barely that, but that's beside the point.)
