Being more secure for Google and [ad-/tracking-supported] app-vendors is more-or-less independent of being more secure for computer owners.

If some change happens to benefit both groups, I assume it's a happy coincidence. I like to think that most Google employees try to implement win-win stuff like that, but it's pretty clear that they frequently worsen user security/privacy to improve their bottom line (nearly all their revenue comes from spying on people, and preventing them from effectively opting out).
