The use of separate profiles isn't really unique to Chrome in that Firefox has had the capability for a long time now, just not as obvious. The Firefox Profile Manager has to be invoked separately from Firefox itself using a command line switch in the Firefox shortcut or typing "firefox.exe -profilemanager" into the Windows' "Run" field for example.
My point is that using profiles is extremely handy for many users, especially where website development, browser pre-release troubleshooting and where add-ons (extensions) are concerned. Using profiles and a different combinations of extensions you can have several instances of the same browser, each tailored for specific purposes rather than loading up one browser instance with all the extensions you'll ever need for any purpose. Granted, the majority of users wouldn't care about this sort of thing but there are enough users, judging by the widespread use of Firefox profiles over the years (I use them extensively), to justify having the use of profiles in Chrome, especially if using profiles in Chrome is much more convenient than using profiles in Firefox. Chrome is due to have the ability to use extensions soon enough and being able to easily and conveniently use separate profiles would definitely be a benefit and advantage over Firefox.
