The point is that, even with all those flaws, developers have to target at least two browsers instead of just building for Chrome.

The force keeping Safari afloat is not the one keeping Firefox down, the problem is that Firefox has nothing to drive up its adoption. Telling people that they're "free" to use Firefox and see as the web is swallowed whole by Google with Chrome, like MS did with IE, is missing the point so badly.

You're talking about lack of competition while defending corporate mandated lack of competition and undermining of the web. That's not how this works.

Unless you think of another solution, when the "it" is the web, we have nothing else that works, because antitrust regulators won't come down hard enough on Google for leveraging its dominant position in search and mail to corner the browser market, and use it as an ad delivery platform.
