In the 90s people used to bemoan Microsoft using their OS monopoly and force IE6 on everyone

Many tech people don't seem to care about Google and the Chrome monopoly

Maybe it was the same in the 90s, but the only tech people I knew were on usenet and slashdot, and thus it only seemed everyone was against Microsoft's behaviour.

Either way, we know how bad that behaviour was

I think the reason they don't care is because if they don't have to work with it (their destandardization of HTML I believe) they can trivially find countless alternatives themselves. They aren't restricted.
