Well Chrome is a somewhat different strategy. Sure, Chrome tried to raise the bar. But Google has a lot of other uses for that browser technology. It is used internally, it shows up in Android, the JavaScript engine is usable in a stand-alone environment, it will be used in ChromeOS, etc. Google didn't just release it, say, "We've made our point" and then stop.
Google's strategy with the Nexus One strategy is an occasional strategy. If you're not planning to go into a line of business, it is a lot of money to spend for uncertain reward. That said, I'm quite sure that Google would not be adverse to using it again if they found a good reason to do so.
