I don't understand this statement.

No.  Google did not detect that Midori is identifying itself as Chrome.
Google detected that the version of Chrome being used to access the
website is old.  As it happens, there is no "Chrome", only Midori.

I agree that Midori perhaps could identify as itself, but I don't know
why the upstream developers decided to identify as another browser, so I
cannot really criticize this without knowing.  But don't mistake me: I
am not happy to use a browser that identifies itself as a proprietary
program, so I will contact the Midori developers and ask them about
this.

I'm not blaming anyone.

Then they would have to sue a lot of people, even their some of their
own users who made plugins for Chrome in order to make it possible to
change the User-Agent there as well.

This is nonsense.
