Chrome has not been receding. Whitespace is chrome. But worse than that it's useless chrome that offers no functionality or visual hinting like skeuomorphic chrome did. Hiding functionality that used to be discoverable through menus behind invisible, sometimes baroque gestures is not an improvement for most people. I have family members who, several times a year, will mute their phone or dim their screen after accidentally bringing up control centre. Explaining what they did "wrong" to them after the fact is nearly impossible - "No don't drag from the edge like that, do it like this."
