The difference between Chrome and IE is that IE didn't really benefit Microsoft in a noticeable way. They had no incentive to improve it once they had a monopoly.
Chrome being faster, better and more feature-rich makes users stay in their browsers longer which benefits Google directly (which some might argue is actually a bad thing). But still, Google would have an incentive to not let Chrome stagnant even if they had 100% of the market.
