This would suggest that google never accidentally makes bad experiences because it can throw big money at everything but that's clearly not the case nor how software nor org management work.

I think this is a fantasy we have about big companies, esp big tech companies, often until we work at one.

"But they have so much money, surely it wasn't just one guy working on this major thing" and "If they wanted to do it right, it would have been done right" and such.

Point is... Maybe it shouldn't be up to Google that the prioritization other browsers get is "one guy in his spare time." Maybe society is allowed to hold the dominant market player to a higher standard? The market itself is, after all, a made-up set of rules people agree on; we could make those rules encourage multiple options over a single winner.

so they accidentally not "adhering to open standards"? Thanks for confirming.
