An installation of chrome is roughly 1,500mb. You realize that's mostly code that all needs to work right?

Yeah and an operating system has 10s of millions of lines of code. Does that mean everything else comes without a cost? Also point here is you got options for a much lighter framework, which you bluntly missed.

They probably didn't miss it, more likely haven't been impacted by the sheer number of dependencies in Next js. I know I haven't.

chrome and nextjs do not share a use case. Whereas chrome is a web browser nextjs is a framework for building web applications.
