Chrome is a big part of American automobile history, traditionally and currently, chrome sells. I have no problem with Hummer with lots of chrome. Applying the standard 20/80 rule, I think 80% want chrome. When Ford or GM bring over their European autos, I read the first thing they do is to change the grill, window frames and bumpers to chrome, it is proven chrome sells, blacken doesn't. I like all black personally, but if I were the automaker, I'll do what the buyers want.
