Chrome profiles are an absolute joy for splitting between personal/work activities. They also work better for, say, switching between Google accounts than the "inline" Google account switcher, which is often buggy and at least used to have incomplete support (does the Analytics dashboard finally support the account switcher?).

I agree, they're fantastic for their use cases. I'm trying to say this is not one of them, and trying to use them as container replacements results in an awful and painful experience. That's all.

To my understanding, firefox also has support for multiple profiles at that level, but it may be by app launch, not by window.

It can be per-window: in about:profiles there's a "Launch profile in new browser" button underneath every profile.
