Browsers on mobile phones have a very different set of requirements and limitations. I don't think Chrome is designed to address those.
And even weakening Windows can be achieved by building a killer browser on Windows, because it's what people can do in a browser that matters most, not what OS a browser is running on.
Email retention system and any archival system is boring. I wouldn't be excited to see such a system to manage exabytes of data. The only operation you need to do is search. You don't do join or updates.
Another uninteresting example is a huge database with most of the data being opaque blobs. It's more like a file system than a database.
It's the live data that are queried and updated constantly that counts. E.g. Yahoo's web analytics database. I think it's amazing they managed to keep such an amount of data possibly distributed across data centers consistent during updates and still keep the system responsive with constant queries.
