It's not nonsense. Market forces are made up of locally sane choices (but in a usually orthogonal aspect). Sure, it's good intentioned, but still, it pushes the needle a tiny bit, and all those add up. Just the fact that the developer thought, okay, sure we'll just require Chrome, no biggie, instead of providing something as a browser extension or a desktop thing means that either a) for some people the functionality that this thing offers is king, so they would install even Baidu Browser too if they could just to get this functionality, or b) Chrome's market share is so dominant, that ignoring other browsers is a non-issue. And of course Google has vast resources to win the feature war. This alone means a lot of niche products will be Chrome only. And then others can play catch-up if they want, but the first mover advantage is very big when setting web quasi-standards.
