Summary
We want to deprecate and remove requestAutocomplete. We have seen very little adoption from both other browsers as well as developers. Usage stats are found below. We're working on a new payment standard, PaymentRequest, that borrows ideas from rAc.
Motivation
* Blink is the only platform to support it
* Usage is very low
* We're focusing on PaymentRequest, which has cross-browser support
Compatibility Risk
Very little. See usage stats from above. No other platforms implemented requestAutocomplete.
Usage information from UseCounter
Effectively 0%: https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/965
Entry on the feature dashboard:

Requesting approval to remove too?
Yes.
Thanks,
Zach

This is also being pulled out of GMSCore soon (which powers the Android implementation), so I would propose going straight to removal.
