Genuinely curious - what do people want to see from a new/different rendering engine?
The web is crazy complex these days because it is an entire app platform.
The incentive for anyone building a browser is to use the platform that gives you the best web compat especially at the outset when you don’t have enough users of your app to be able to make big changes to the platform. Even Chrome didn’t start from scratch - it used WebKit!
The Chromium community has built an excellent open platform that everyone can use. We are fortunate to be able to use it.
