I doubt they need to, really.

The browser market is essentially:

64% Chrome. Installed by default on Android, also popular on desktop.

22% Safari. Installed by default and impossible to change on iOS

5% Edge. Installed by default on Windows, and pushed aggressively.

3% Samsung. Installed by default on Samsung devices.

2% Firefox

3% Other

Opera, Brave and suchlike don't appear to be threatening Chrome's market dominance. Why cut them off, when they're helping keep competition law regulators asleep?

You can change away from safari on iOS for a while now.

At some point Google is going to remove Manifest V2 code from Chromium, and few browser packagers will be able to maintain a fork preserving MV2 availability. Will the Linux Foundation work to address this? The announcement is light on details as to what actual projects they plan on supporting.

Yeah I view the usage of chromium as a negative not a positive

Firefox/Gecko is sadly no better now (see their despicable stance on Private Click Measurement). The only alternatives on the horizon are Ladybird and Servo, and they are both at least 2 years from prime time.
