All fair points. Except Mozilla is not pushing Chromium, they have their own Gecko engine (like Presto).
Still, the monoculture is getting worse, and in the end you may not have the option to change Chromium either. Because once Google dominance is absolute, every web server will have some DRM-like code checking that you are running "unmodified genuine Google-authorized Chrome".
If you don't believe this dystopian future can become reality, then imagine explaining modern iOS and Android app stores to yourself 30 years ago. It would have sounded just as dystopian.
