I guess this is why Gentoo is still my distro of choice after all these years.

Really, a browser is now dependent on a particular Linux kernel?

For example RHEL/CentOS 7 which was released just last year with at least a 10 year support ahead of it is now obsolete according to them because it has a kernel version 3.10...

Not that many people are on desktop versions of those OSes, and those that are will not use Chrome (for example, US govt loves them some Desktop RHEL systems, but Chrome is usually not allowed there anyway), but just highlighting how still seems a bit crazy.

That seems like an exceedingly childish exchange.
