Sadly, it happened to IE as it was a nightmare to work with and web-devs started pushing back.
As a software developer during that time the fact that IE was or was not difficult to work with was not the reason for the pushback.
What happened was thst the customer base did the pushback, reminding corporations who tried to do the quickest development possible, by working with just one single browser (the one with the most population), that the Internet is a standard, and that all browsers are supposed to work with their websites.
Overtime that pressure created the change.
And that can happen again now.
Chrome is, by most accounts, the best browser to work with as a web-dev so it seems unlikely that there will be the same push back against it.
Please don’t be so dismissal of the point I’m making.

It worked before, it can work again.
