First thing that came to mind was that it clearly wasn't developed by Google! Thank goodness. It'd be long dead.
Ethernet is an standard. as long as standards are open (and they should be, by definition) they can't die as long as there is an use for them.
Google has so much pull now that they alone can define a "web standard" by adding it to Chromium/Chrome. If it's there for more than a year and used by major websites, people will ever forgot it wasn't agreed upon by all parties. Any other browser will implement it simply because of the market share.
Well that's good
