WebKit and Blink are extremely far diverged at this point, even though Blink was originally a fork of WebKit. Features like sandboxing and process isolation vary significantly on the backend, and feature support for web pages varies greatly. Ask any web developer if they can rely on new web features in chrome also being present in safari, they can’t.

Apple took khtml, which was developed by the KDE project, and created Webkit. Google then forked Webkit and created Chrome with it.
