How much of a payoff is there in browser business given that browser development is not trivial at all and it has become a commodity?

Nowadays, browser development means rebasing your changes on top of Chromium periodically.
Browser development can't both be non trivial and a commodity. Or I'm misunderstanding you.
Browser development is non-trivial, but browsers themselves are a commodity. There is no money in browser itself as an app, or at the very least not enough to support development.
It can. Lot of commodities today is highly non-trivial.
