Interesting. Do you have a source for that, please?

It's how Google rolls out new features all the time.

First they ask you. Then it will become a opt-out flag. Then maintaining the switch option will be too much work and it will disappear.

Honestly what should concern you is that this is the way Chrome is going, not that you are allowed to enjoy it your own way for a little while more.
