I found the documentation here of the chrome platform, which is used to collect browser data.

https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:components/domain_reliability/baked_in_configs/c_play_google_com.json

Currently, I search trusted sources only EasyPrivacy is blocking this domain. Maybe I will remove this domain in the future.
