I have good experience with some of my upstreams where they supported me by
adapting their build system to enable building without the bundled/vendored

It has been, yes.
I was looking when Micheal reported a few bugs (after my prodding) to
get a few build issues solved (actual FTBFS when building with specific
build flags). Even those bug reports were completely ignored with no
answer whatsoever; the patches also ignored.
I'm led to believe the chromium team is not really playing with the
community at all, rather they are just following their internal bug
tracker instead.
Likewise, they are obviously not interested in supporting anything that
is not the official Google Chrome build (if it can even said they are
"supoprting" that).
