I doubt they'd go for it.
Otherwise, this would give a huge boost to Firefox.
Chrome's own adblocker would only reduce the incentive to install another adblocker. Especially if it's natively implemented as part of the browser.

Chrome was, and has always been about giving Google full control over content from their servers to the users. They've spent the past decade relentlessly removing middle-men out of their way (most obviously Adobe, but also other advertisers, and now the search engine is even extracting information from sites so you don't even need to click on links anymore, see AMP and their various "search enhancements") - they aren't about to stop at removing "misbehaving" apps. You already can't get AdBlock on Android without rooting - it's an easy equivalence for them to make and base their rules around, however false it may be.
