Huh? The WHATWG steering committee is Apple, Mozilla, Google, and Microsoft. WHATWG's legitimacy (such as it is) doesn't come from being non-corporate, it comes from being entirely controlled by the top corporate browser vendors and thus reflecting the de facto state of affairs regarding how and when and why features are defined and implemented. If the WHATWG disappeared nothing would change because the top vendors are going to pick & choose W3C standards, anyhow.
