This is something I'm confused about. When people "build browsers" it's largely just Chromium with a couple of features tacked on top. I'm not sure why no one is trying to keep only the rendering engine and building their own, much better browser on top of it.

There are people doing that, Qutebrowser, Nyxt does that for WebKit(and they are moving to chromium engine). The main issue why others are not doing that is the issue with cutting yourself from extensions.
