Do their apps actually rely on features only Chrome has?

There's often a plausibility story, but it's very rarely for a good reason. Certainly nothing other apps would use for justification.

There is "return to previous AdWords" option. As I see it, teams should have the right to release features to different browsers gradually

The differences between modern browsers are so thin nowadays that there is no justification to not do cross-browser from the start

I'm fine for instance that on google docs offline mode is chrome-only. Arguably hard to do well cross-browser. But a no-other-browser wall?

I'm fine if it's Service Worker only (standards track stuff with broad consensus but lagging impl is fine)

When chrome adds new features, then relies on them in apps before there's even consensus to ship, usually something's really wrong.

Honestly at this point I trust the Chrome team more than the standards bodies that govern these features. Sad, but true.

I do not. Not even a little. 1. Chrome team > TC39?
2. Chrome dominates WHATWG so doesn't make sense to differentiate.2 replies 0 retweets 3 likes -

Ah no, not TC39. I meant standards bodies that gave us things like html5 history, etc. ie browser features. They come up short again & again

And Chrome comes up short in getting their ideas in other browsers in a timely manner (most of the time)
