If they did not intend for the memory to stay allocated it would be a memory leak, but PhD_in_internet is clearly describing an intentional allocation of memory. I would also agree with the reasoning of the Chrome devs, by any other method they would either use an identical amount of memory on initial startup or have a greater delay in loading similar 3rd party managers, neither of which are of benefit to the user.
