Google doesn't care about the server-side use case for V8. Microsoft, on the other hand, has some skin in the game, as they are pushing Node on their Azure platform. While I wouldn't want to see Node controlled by Microsoft (or any single vendor for that matter), it's not outside the realm of possibility that Node will be better off using (open source) ChakraCore over V8.
