Because it's a web browser. It loads web pages. Isn't the idea that it's supposed to stay out of the way and let you browse?
I won't jump on either side here, but this is a foolish way to argue it. One person's preference does not a browser make, and the fact that Chrome buzz died away is only because Chrome had such ridiculous buzz to begin with. THAT was the unnatural part, and its dying down is only logical.
Somebody apparently disagrees with me on that, so tell me: was Chrome not overhyped? And isn't it true that for web browsing, the best interface is none at all?
