Naive question — why is everyone building chromium-based browsers as opposed to using Gecko? Is it difficult to integrate?

Most of these chromium-based browsers are intended to address privacy concerns. Firefox (mostly) respects your privacy.

There are also sometimes compatibility issues with Firefox because web developers only test on chromium and webkit. Anyone opinionated enough to put up with that is just going to use Firefox.
