That's a poor analogy. The situation of using so many tabs is about making the browser work harder, not in an incorrect manner. So if I was to compare that to riding a bike it would be like pedaling as fast as I could. If the bike couldn't handle it then yes, I would say it was the manufacturers fault.

I was thinking of a fixed gear bike. It can operate in both directions. One direction has handlebars.
Designers shouldn't be expected to support efficiency on the side they didn't put the bars.

Hold on to this mentality, and you will never develop great software.

The fact is the Chrome efficiently runs many tabs. This guy wants an extreme use case to be primarily supported or the browser must suck.
Supporting it would be a waste of developer time. If they run out of ways to make Chrome faster and have nothing better to do then sure, let's deal with this niche problem.
If I want to ride my bike facing the wrong direction, it's not the fault of the designer that I can no longer steer. I could potentially make it work, but would it ever be reasonable for the manufacturer to add another set of handlebars on the back?
As for your comment about Apple claiming the user was holding their phone incorrectly, they did ultimately provide cases right and therefore admitting that enough users were having trouble to merit a change / fix ?
All said, you are using your browser wrong. Sorry to be the one who has to tell you.
