Since Chrome's engine is used by Edge, Opera, Brave, etc.. Probably the best move is to become a non-profit and have all those organizations chip in.

The main reason even Microsoft gave up and rebased their browser on top of Chrome is because of the breakneck speed at which Google introduces new standards and features to the ecosystem. Having them be forced to slow down might be a good thing for browser diversity and the future of the Internet.

Or maybe because Chromium is pretty good, open-source and there's nearly no upside to reinventing the wheel?

If Mozilla would fork Chromium now and base Firefox on their fork I would switch from Brave. The engine simply technically superior.
