  Google is doing this because they have incentives to do so. They want to block malicious actors like attack their platforms.

  Other companies want to lock down their own apps because they don’t think users should be permitted to do anything other than use their apps exactly as they want.

  I don’t like it as a user, but I also see the reason why companies want this by being on the security side of software.
