But what’s stopping Google from doing this already?

I copy a tracking link from google in my reply here. You click on the link. Google now connects me and my search session to you and knows where I gave you this link from. If I get the original url, all google knows is that I copied that link and nothing else.

JavaScript being disabled - Google was already sending analytics pings when search result links were clicked on, using JS.
