Some random thoughts: - IE vs Chrome dominance is comparable but not equal. One was closed source and stagnant, the other open and constantly evolving. - “What if we all contribute to the same code base” ignores that not all priorities are aligned. Apple is a lot more focused on user experience and battery life while Google is all about moving the platform forward, see Web Worker conundrum for example. - Browser are a lot more complicated now than they used to be, so creating anew from scratch is harder. But the Web is also a lot better documented (edge cases specified) and with more open implementations to get inspiration from.
