Why are there many hundred Chromium based browsers, but seemingly very few Firefox based browsers?

Google docs compatibility. And now Office 365, since Edge switched to the same rendering engine.
-
Google Docs works just fine on Firefox
-
Doesn’t matter. IT departments everywhere will just mandate Chrome use for “known compatibility/supported configuration”.
-
Copy and paste is restricted to keyboard commands last time I tried plus if I’m managing an IT department I want near certainty that O365 or GSUITE will work with every update and patch Chrome and Edge basically guarantee that while Firefox’s development team lack the ability to see future changes to the software and have less motivation to do so as it’s not their product.

Oh noes! Keyboard commands?
Anyone working in an office worth their weight in salt should know Ctrl+Z/X/C/V at bare minimum.

They definitely don’t I work with 21 years olds fresh out of college that have no idea how to navigate file systems they are fine on iPads or phones but clueless on an actual computer.
-
Just have them use their iPads then, problem solved

Too bad the applications were written on COBOL while I was in high school (Some sarcasm). Even to enter my time I have to use the old school IE browser because Edge can’t render the site properly and it has to be virtualized because windows 10 can’t launch it correctly once something works corporations are slow to change we’d have to get new apps made tested and then internally reviewed then issue new devices and see pushback from older employees who always sabotage new device and software launches. There’s a woman still working on a Windows 98 machine that has to be air-gapped and manually brought emails and files by hand because she threatens to quite if she is forced to update (She does have an obscure PHD and makes the company tons of money with her analysis work so they appease her)
-
I appreciate that woman's conviction lmao
-
Its scary how many financial systems STILL use COBOL. My old hospital did up until 2020...

I've actually been wondering why that's the case for a while. Like is it a limitation of something their doing under the hood of GSUITE products?
