We haven't, and I hope you are not implying that one of the largest tech companies in the world would take advantage of their complete dominance of the internet to weaken their remaining competition.
In all seriousness, it's not a new issue, if you search for it, there are complaints about it going back years.
Now, I'm sure there is a "non-evil" explanation, such as "oh we just test more with Chrome so we optimized for that, but we will try to convince an intern to install Firefox", "Chrome is just better", "Firefox doesn't have x and y features, so it's slow, but it they implement it, it will be fast, too"...
... and there are the "evil" explanation, "let's make one of our most popular products slightly slower on a competing browser to nudge people into using our browser".
