Perhaps, but I think we're actually on the right track. With enough tumbling down the proverbial rabbit hole, we might finally just pop up on the other side. Our tools have gotten good enough to allow us to imagine many permutations of a hypothetical future-browser, and the best ideas coming from these experimental technologies are being embraced by companies like Facebook and Google, who represent an obvious power-player in terms of spec influence. In particular the recent trend of eliminating all the global scope/cascade issues (most notably via "CSS in JS" from the React community) is a good sign that our technology is evolving -- not merely mutating.
