>Nowadays we have monopolies forcing onto us mediocre things developed by mediocre teams, like Chromium/Blink. And they are big and so deep in the government, that no one seem to be able to do anything about it.
No one is forced into anything. It's just that the browser went from simply rendering HTML and some associated eye-candy JS to being an OS.
So JS, which used to be a relatively safe, interpreted language, turned into Java, a complicated JIT VM where every millisecond counts. In the process, security holes are introduced, and competing with the "Big Guys" is just too hard.
It's like why no one can compete against Intel for power and speed. It's just too expensive.
