Ok, if we take this as given then non-Chromium is dead. Yikes. I'm not convinced it's a lost cause yet, but yes it looks like a very plausible future imo. Assuming that then, if we want healthy web standards then it sounds like the only option is to shut down Firefox et al ASAP (or make it another chromium wrapper) and spend that engineer time & money instead getting involved in these specs and Chromium development to try and provide non-Google input and ideas, and somehow transform Chromium itself into a community endeavour. If there's an inevitable chromium monopoly then that seems like the only choice. Unless something else blocks the chromium monopoly, e.g. Google antitrust of some sort, but that doesn't seem imminent (for Chrome specifically). A somewhat bleak future, but if this becomes inevitable then that seems like the best option unfortunately.
