The difference is that the Linux Foundation doesn't have a side business getting a cut from every install of Apache Server or something. They do not have a strong stake in how people end up using Linux. Google has a strong interest in how people end up using the web and they have a particular vision for it, a vision that many on here disagree with. Imagine if IBM ran the Linux kernel. We would be hearing many of the same concerns.

But chromium has submitters from Linux, Google, Microsoft, & Opera.

Why is that a bad thing?

And why would Firefox being a contributor make it worse? It’s open source.

That should be a good thing.
