Plenty of monocultures exist in the real world and we almost already have a Chrome/WebKit based monoculture. Where's the actual, non-theoretical disaster? Safa

Plenty of monocultures exist in the real world and we almost already have a Chrome/WebKit based monoculture. Where's the actual, non-theoretical disaster?
Safari is the only browser that has any significant uptake (~20%) and Chromium was forked from WebKit, so all Chromium browsers already share a good chunk of their foundation with WebKit. You could say that we really almost have a WebKit monoculture since Firefox, the only non-Chromium/WebKit browser only has 3.65% of the market. [0]
Heck, the vast majority of Internet servers and most of the clients are running on the Linux kernel but nobody is complaining about that.
