Why wouldn’t google just ship a “libchrome” shared library so that they could share it?

They do, it's called Google Chrome.

Because google is more inclined to break their own APIs without concern of the integrations of others.

Adobe AIR was an effort to create a common runtime for similar things... wouldn't mind seeing a few OS vendors coming together to support something similar, but on the flip side, I don't want to be stuck with Node 4.0's API in 2024.
