Maintaining web standards without breaking backwards compatibility is literally what they signed up for when they decided to make a browser. If they didn't want to do that job, they shouldn't have made one.
Chromium is open source and free (both as in beer and speech). The license says they've made no future commitments and made no warrants.
Google signed up to give something away for free to people who want to use it. From the very first version, it wasn't perfectly compatible with other web browsers (which mostly did IE quirks things). If you don't want to use it, because it doesn't maintain enough backwards compatibility... Then don't.
Because they don't want to use the code. They begrudgingly use it to support XSLT and now they don't use it.
