I'll admit that the OSX Keychain has advantages - Offering OS-managed secure storage, with the possibility of the OS authenticating requests for credentials with the user is pretty cool. But as Chrome is cross-platform, and there's not standardized and similar APIs on Linux and Windows, I don't think it's the right move to have an OSX exclusive implementation that uses that api.

That is a very fair point, which I will take into consideration.
