The crash pad maintainer pointed out that I was wrong[1]: It is meant to
be enabled in Chromium. That led me to realize the now painfully obvious
cause: chrome_crashpad_handler was generated all along, just simply not
staged; It was introduced — for Linux — in 108 after all.
Now to the question, "is it useful for us, or should we leave it
disabled as in [2]?"
With two builds, one with crash pad disabled and one with it enabled, I
empirically ascertained that although reporting is disabled in Chromium
{attachment: disabled.png} for both, this does not mean that the crash
pad is not being used for both.
Rather, the crash pad makes crash reports generation possible. When
entering about:crash, which generates a sample crash, in the URL bar,
only the build with crash pad enabled generates a report in
about:crashes {attachment: crash-logged.png} and in
~/snap/chromium/common/chromium/Crash Reports/.
So it's better that the crash pad is left enabled.
