The problem with evolution is that it's slow and can never reach parts of the problem space that require too large a leap.
In the case of web rendering engines, for example, I don't see "evolution" getting us to a rendering engine that can usefully parallelize over, say, 64 cores starting from the engines we have right now. And monoculture would ensure that we never get there.
