Some people would have a hard time surviving in the real world outside of Google's walls.
I can see why a guy on the Chrome UI team would dismiss a valid business strategy of hedging against the IE + Firefox user-base that uses the search bar and address bar for 100% of their searches (vs. going to http://www.google.com directly) ... having their default search engine switched on them.
To him, owning a share of the browser market is not really important to Google, in that way, because he has this image of himself and Google being the good guys and doing to no evil.

Someone drank the kool-aid.
My thoughts exactly. Paradoxically, being closer to the issue and company actually clouds your perception instead of enhancing it.
