Its seems fine, other than the whole "coaching" thing. Like, nobody knows how to do this today, so someone will have to "coach" them through it, even if it's Google themselves.

But I would wait and see exactly how it's implemented before calling off the resistance. And I wouldn't call it a "win", that would be then backing down entirely back to what they were already doing.
