It's easier to inherit because it's less dev time spent on a part of the browser that has less evident results for the consumer. I bet they'd rather spend money on the UX provided by UI changes rather than reworking the JavaScript engine, or anything related HTML or CSS rendering.
There's no reason a Chromium fork can't conform to other web standards.
