Writing and maintaining a modern webbrowser isn't cheap or easy; exactly why MS switched to Chromium as an engine.

Google is the main power behind all Chromium development and there have already been plenty of examples of the devs going "our way or the highway" with noone forking the browser engine. Upcoming is the new change to block adblockers from working properly in chrome. I see nobody willing to fork chromium over that.
