KHTML wasn't so bad. "Major websites" at that time meant less than now. It wasn't Facebook/Reddit/Google/Twitter time with everything important being on those platforms.
They did lots of dick moves to prevent their changes from going back to upstream. I'm not sure taking someone else's work and then behaving as if that's a divine blessing is a good thing.
Chromium now is really far from Webkit, and of course from KHTML, which died as its own project relatively recently.
