I think the difference is in controlling the brand and by doing so allowing the end-user to discern a visible difference. "This is real Chrome and when I'm in this, it's not cooperating with the boss spying." "This is the work browser that I have to use so that they see."
None of us are lawyers, but I find it hard to believe that preventing some UX element from being visible is illegal. If it is, then how come adblockers are legal?

Ad blockers don't violate trademark because the owner of the software whose behavior is modified (the browser) doesn't object. If a product displays your trademark but has been modified to behave as other than your product, the trademark holder probably has actionable cause.
