When will people switch away from Chrome to other browsers? I get it, Chrome sets the standards and it's hard to switch away from them, but it's necessary to ensure the survival of the Internet.

They wouldn’t set the standard anymore if nobody used them.

I doubt most people even know you can change it. Edge is the default browser on windows. Chromium. Chrome is the default browser on android (though I suppose Samsung has a custom browser and they're the main android device people are buying)
