> However, not many new operating systems have a Chrome browser [0] on them and Fuchsia has this, not many people realise how huge this is let alone on a new from the ground up OS.

Enlighten me, why does this matter?

Modern browsers use an extremely wide range of system APIs: process/IPC/sandboxing, memory, networking/connectivity (e.g. bluetooth), filesystem, GPU, audio, windowing system, device IO (keyboards, webcam), and more I'm sure.

I can't think of any other kind of software that come close. If you can run a modern browser it means that your OS is already quite mature.

It shows how mature Fuchsia is. Chrome is an enormous piece of software that requires a lot of things to run.
