First time hearing of that 'micro tor' google thing. Why are they even doing this? It is so weird for them to do this. There has to be some kind of catch to it right?

Non-browser ad blockers like the Pi-Hole block all network traffic to known servers that serve ads. Routing all web traffic through Google's VPN disables this way of adblocking and only leaves in-browser solutions like u-block. And Google's fight against those within Chrome is ongoing.
