To be fair, the IE6 problem wasn’t just massive usage, it was massive usage plus complete stagnation.
Chrome has high but not massive usage, and it hasn’t stagnated. It has a separate problem though: the lack of stagnation is actually a drive towards Google’s somewhat unhealthy vision for the web.
People keep forgetting that Google is an ad company first, everything else just supports that.
And what's better for distributing ads on the internet then controlling the software people use to view said ads - the browser.
