IE pushed the web forward initially. It was only after it won that it stagnated. As a developer, this is my biggest fear for Chromium.

I honestly don't fear that. Times are different.

Google wants the web to succeed, whereas Microsoft saw it as a threat. In addition, in the case of stagnation it would be relatively easy for a Chromium clone to fill the gap.

Google wants Web == ChromeOS, it is their Windows, naturally they want it to succeed.

Android and Fuchsia are also ways to achieve it.

Chromium lacks lots of relevant features that most users actually want from Chrome.
