Chromium once supported unity builds. For me it speeded up builds from 6 hours down to 1 hour 20 minutes on a Windows laptop. And Chromium tries to make their headers reasonable.

Chromium eventually dropped support for such builds. At Google the developers have access to a compilation farm that compiles within like 5 minutes. With such farm unity builds makes things slower as they decrease parallelism. So Google decided not to support them not to deal with very occasional compilation breakage.

Apple doesn’t have this, and WebKit supports Unity builds ;)
