I suspect that developers are simply angry with Apple for not letting them to fiddle with the latest stuff that Google is experimenting with.
Chrome is the new IE but with better manners if you consider the non standard Chrome specific stuff that makes websites to work only in Chrome.
Developers hated IE for not being standart, you had to write two versions of your CSS, you had to make your code accommodate the Box model differences(is the border included in the width of your DIV?) and bugs just to make the UI properly display a standart compliant HTML and CSS. You had to deal with JScript, Microsoft's JavaScript that is mostly the same but not exactly.
Due to the marketshare, Microsoft was able to push its own non-standart technology and pushed people to use IE if they don't want to be left out. This is very similar to what Google is doing with Chrome, sabotaging FF through popular Google properties like YouTube[0] and leaving out features if you are not using Chrome.
Apple may not be perfect but Google is not the "good guy" here.
