Fair enough for poor Google, if only they did not strong-armed Chrome on everyone's computer by leveraging their default search engine/home page position, their ads and pop-under "Try Chrome" that were plastered everywhere 15 years ago or so.
A true community project is flexible w/ respect to dependencies, builds in a way that's doable by anyone who puts in some effort, and sends bugfixes in dependencies upstream so that -normally speaking- project can build against common (versions of) system libraries.
Doing the exact opposite screams vendor lock-in disguised as an open source effort. Of course no surprise this coming from Google (also notice similarities with the Android project).
