It's only a problem in browsers which log the user activity, also if the user use Google for searches.
Partially yes, the other concern would be who does the DNS lookups? In my opinion there should be no DNS monopoly so there is no single point of failure if captured.
The entire concept of DNS is predicated on decentralization too.
There are dozends of DNS providers, there isn't a monopoly. Eg I mostly use Quad9, because is one of the fastes and reliables, apart nothing to do with Google.
