I think ultimately this is a good decision. The web has flourished in part because Google has supported Chrome so well over the years since they are incentivized to do so. You don't have to use Chrome (I don't) to benefit from this second order effect.

In your opinion what would have happened if Google didn't have Chrome and just backed independent browsers to break the IE stronghold?
