You are asking why controlling the default search engine and the client infrastructure for tracking users is valuable to Google?

No, not at all.

I am asking why people (appear to) think that Google's own browser is competing against the other browser that Google also funds.

Why?

I may be stupid here. Please excuse if so. But I don't see why Google would lose market share in a market that provides income if Firefox' market share were higher and Chrome's lower.
