I was expecting a OS X app to remove all the old versions of Chrome that get left inside the application package folder after each evergreen update.

NFI why the updater doesn't clean out versions that are > than, say, 3mths old.

On OS X, Chrome keeps the last two versions around. If you have more old versions, it's likely a bug or a problem with permissions. My mother's mac had the same issue as you. After I deleted Chrome.app and downloaded a fresh copy from Google, it never returned.
