They can have all the formal procedures that they want, but none of them are legally committed to implementing the WHATWG spec. So it ultimately comes down to power, your share of the browsing market[1]. Everything else is ultimately a facade, that will crumble if it diverges too far from the underlying reality.
[1] The power of the different vendors isn't a straightforward function of market-share of course, you have to factor in: shares on the different form factors, shares that are locked in (e.g. WebKit on iOS, Blink on ChromeOS), spending habits of the different user bases, etc.
