For historical reasons (viz. NSS), Mozilla maintains its own list of trusted CAs. Chrome uses whatever is provided by the OS, so they aren't in a position to make the same sorts of demands.

Not that I disagree with the sentiment -- there's just a very specific reason why Mozilla is involved, and it's not simply because they write a web browser.

Chrome could still maintain a blacklist of roots.
