It's more like Chromium; you could fork it, but it's big enough that that's difficult, and doesn't really do anything about its influence on the ecosystem.

Except for the fact that chromium is a feeder project for a proprietary closed source work and so often bends to the will of that project.

Morally there's no equivalence here.

A browser is quite literally the most complex project out there - systemd is absolutely tiny compared to it, so I don't think that would make a fair comparison, at all.
