Idle thought: can you build Google Chrome's `chrome` binary from Chromium source code, verbatim? Is this documented anywhere? If not, isn't this an LGPL violation, since it embeds Blink which is LGPL-licensed?

I'm not sure what's not in Chromium anymore. Flash is delayloaded/downloaded (via pepper + updater), and that code is OSS - not sure what else they could be linking to make it unreproducible? Telemetry is also the same.
I guess the logos and such, but that's in resource files probably? I'm just wondering if there's anything code-wise that is different about Chrome, other than bundling plugins (like widevine, but that's a solib)...

You'd have to RE it or ask the Chrome guys, I guess.

Well, given the license requirement to be able to replace the LGPLed parts, the onus is kind of on *them* to document how to do so to be in compliance :-)
