That's exactly what I was thinking. It also makes Chrome essentially worthless to anyone except Google.

Maybe as a whole package, but node.js servers are ubiquitous and have a ton of stakeholders that have nothing to do with web browsers.

What does Chrome have to do with a node.js server?

Same JS engine, same maintainers, same iron-grip control by Google.

The JavaScript (code) engine that powers Chrome is the same JavaScript (code) engine that powers Node servers. Node is used to power a large portion of web applications and internal corporate tools. The Chromium/Node project is under the tight control of Google engineers.
