I use laptops for coding and ML (one of my laptops has a 1070 GPU). I use Firefox with containers, one for each major site (Twitter, Google properties, HN, etc.). I only delete all cookies in Firefox about once a month - probably not nearly often enough, even using containers.
I do most of my web browsing on an iPad Pro and I delete all cookies on Safari very frequently.
I pay Google for Play Music, buy books and movies, and use GCP - that is enough revenue for them, so I feel like they still make money from me. Twitter makes money by showing me ads. Anyway, I feel just fine about frequently nuking cookies.
Yes, because that is probably not the setup/workflow that the majority of internet users are using.
Also, I'm not sure how useful deleting cookies is today if the new cookie can immediately be re-linked with the old profile the moment you log into your Google account.

Does it really matter what Google wants?

I recommend Cookie auto delete if you haven't considered it before: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-autode...
