>people driving it have no idea what they are doing + have no need for that capacity.

Presumptuous to assume the operators of these vehicles don’t have the need for the capacity. My next door neighbor has 3 kids that fit in 3 car seats she carts them around all day not to mention their accessories and shopping and I always thought she needed a bigger vehicle. SUVs fare better in a collision with a smaller car, when it comes to protecting your kids you are better off riding in a tank.

“ Our long-term goal is to define badging for high-quality experiences, which may include signals beyond just speed.“ My speculation is that they are gearing towards web moderation. Tag sites that don’t agree with their world view as “potentially harmful”. This could make an average chrome user immediately balk at opening the site and reading the content.

Before you downvote my comment explain why the above scenario is not plausible.
