Am I wrong in thinking the only thing we're missing for a rich ecosystem of browsers is a modular, independent Javascript runtime/interpreter similar to Java? Java has a bunch of JVMs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Java_virtual_machines

Maybe we need Mozilla (and others) to make an independent Javascript "VM" that everybody can use.

Mozilla and Google each has one, both open source (iirc). NodeJS uses Chrome's, even.
