For better and worse, most people don't care what's under the hood. They care about the surface features. I.e. Chrome already has their bookmarks, the buttons are all in the same place, etc.

You and I know there's little difference but end users don't want to change, even if it's to something that would benefit them in the long run (i.e. Firefox)
