Because it creates 1 process per tab.

I'm not joking.

Chrome uses, as said above, one process per tab + other Chrome processes, these can be Chrome itself or extensions.

This is to prevent the entire chrome browser from crashing when say, an extension has a problem, or something like that. It will just close the extension's process and not interrupt your browsing.
