2 reasons imo.

  1. Chrome inertia. Everyone who’s locked into it from the days it was legitimately faster.
  2. Every time it gets mentioned, its supporters like to “no true Scotsman” the original project and suggest their preferred fork instead.

    No true Scotsman is one of the biggest reasons open source anything struggles to catch on. Normal users never have any fucking idea what to do and everyone always just screeches forks of forks of forks and then the normal users just get paralyzed. Lol
