At least in Gentoo we remove _most_ of the bundled libraries. Currently the biggest culprits are probably ffmpeg (Chromium upstream breaks it so often that I gave up trying to use the system version) and mesa (yeah, Chromium bundles it and it seems it's patched). I'm slowly convincing the upstream to have a more distro-friendly bundling strategy (i.e. staying close to upstream and making it possible to use system versions). This takes time, and I often need to do the unbundling work myself.
