FWIW, pushing back on this part: there is actually some amount of webcompat requirement for Chrome's behavior here.  See the list of "see also" webcompat bug reports at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1585485 -- there are 9 distinct reports there right now, which include quite high-profile sites like [Yahoo](https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/47442), [Bing](https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/54652), [GitHub](https://webcompat.com/issues/59567)], [NameCheap](https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/61254), and [Heineken](https://webcompat.com/issues/40634) (the last of which is at least a big brand if not a big web presence).

That's part of why we're leaning towards switching Firefox to match Chrome's behavior (and the spec, to the extent that I understand it correctly). I suspect if instead Chrome switched to match Firefox, you'd end up needing to roll back the change due to webcompat fallout.
