Pepper is not proprietary, it's completely open source.

That doesn't make it not proprietary! It's open-source, sure, but it's not something easy for other browser vendors to implement and only has a single implementation.
Being open source doesn't help other people to adopt the code if it has hard dependencies on other parts of Chrome.
