Browser updates are more than just html/css/javascript functionality updates. For examle, if Google updates the UI of Chrome and they can push it to me now, why not? I don't want to wait, and Google is giving me the option of not waiting. Or if they update their extension APIs and I want to make or use an extension that relies on them - why wait? Or if they make javascript run twice as fast for me. As a user, I love being able to get those things as soon as they're ready.

This has been and always will be true until 100% of the web uses the same browser. I'm not sure what the point of stating it is, or how a rapid-release schedule makes it worse. It doesn't.
