Blink is incredibly performant. Why would you hate on a specific browser engine just because it's made by Google? Nothing stands in your way to switch to Firefox if you want, plus Blink is open source so what's not to like?
It's made by Google.
So is android and many other technologies we rely on everyday.
I think their point is that, even if blink is a good technology and all, it's just another way for google to assure its monopoly, and that's not a good thing.
Their inventions?
Apple forked KHtml into WebKit and developed on it, while not pushing their changes/upgrades back upstream. Then Google came and used WebKit for chrome and eventually began forking it into Blink.
Tell me how Blink or WebKit is Google's invention?
With big corps, it's never that simple.

Do tell how that matters. You can always switch to another engine or fork blink.
And it would still be tainted by Google. Yeah no thanks buddy. I rather use Gnome Web/Epiphany than using Chrome.
Chrome is not the same as chromium/blink. You can use other chromium-based browsers, which are not full of google spyware.
