For their own AI, that's definitely possible, but with other strong competitors, that seems like a super risky move. They clearly are sabotaging their own AI, but I tend to think that's because their risk analysis indicated that regulators and influencers are more of a threat than users, so they are acting accordingly.
For the rest of the market you push the agenda of regulation because AI is potentially dangerous. More regulation means that the technology becomes less usable and its adoption is stalled. And that's something that Google is promoting for years, not just now that the field exploded.
