Since Chrome uses the 3D accelerator to render normal pages, without Nvidia's "hobble" the 2nd GPU would be active all the time, which would be poor for battery life.
It would be nice if it could be configured to do just that when running on external power, but I don't think that hobbling WebGL is the goal.
