If Google does make particularly problematic changes, it's not going to be some random users forking it, it's going to be Microsoft.

But that's assuming that the changes will also be problematic for Microsoft, while their interest may align with Google's in a lot of situations

That is true, we cannot always assume Microsoft will will be opposed to it.

But they are a competitor and considering how they've been pushing edge lately, I don't think it would take too much for MS to split if they thought they could get an advantage that way.
