Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge are also contributors to this project, so this is a cross-browser initiative to help improve how agents build for the web.

That's why it seems to skip the most egregious of Chrome-only APIs and focuses on areas where there's large cross-browser agreement.

Cross-browser compatibility has been a guiding principle for this project from the start. See: https://youtu.be/bo3i0FzDUYo?si=EqIgY_Kh_r_hSgdE&t=686

Also Mozilla only joined in the last few weeks, so they haven't yet had a big influence on the project (though I expect they will going forward).

Firefox is not a skin of Chrome; it has the only browser engine in common use that's not descended from KHTML.
