It means Google can set the web standards, which is worse.

    Competitors dont have to inherit those tho just because they are based on chromium.

    It's easier to inherit because it's less dev time spent on a part of the browser that has less evident results for the consumer. I bet they'd rather spend money on the UX provided by UI changes rather than reworking the JavaScript engine, or anything related HTML or CSS rendering.

    There's no reason a Chromium fork can't conform to other web standards.
