The support depend on Intel, helping kernel maintainers, building drivers for it in the Linux kernel, as AMD helps the mesa team. This is why Nvidia support on it is knwon to be pretty bad, without ressorting to proprietary drivers.

For the former, The reason isn't that stupid, since Steam is already using Chrome in itself (CEF to be exact in the app). However, Google Chrome isn't open-source, and it restrict it being distributed in the SteamOS images. Not possible legally.
Thought, a switch to Chromium by default is possible, but not expected, as it will add yet an another browser in addition of the Firefox one integrated by default.
