Sometimes. But motivation matters. The motivation behind ghc is clearly and unequivocally to advance the Haskell ecosystem. The motivation behind Chrome's dominance is another thing entirely.

If the Haskell ecosystem is a monoculture, and isn't headed in a direction that suits your needs, you can choose another environment. There's (pretty much) only one Web that needs to serve us all.
