Besides technical challenges I'm not privy to, there's this quote which might help understand why it took so long:
"Actually, this was a request for this one early on in the CSS1 days as well. Me and my aesthetic thinking, I'm not a designer. You have to know that. But to me those rounded things; they look like something from the 1970s. I said, 'Nobody is ever going to need rounded borders on something.'"

- overcast 9y agoNo one needs rounded borders now, that's just a design aesthetic. What we do need, is proper layouts though.
