Thinking about it more - I noticed the WebKit Bugzilla ticket mentions a problem with integrating Qt's date-picker for other Webkit platforms - and I noticed that Apple's date-picker in Cocoa is a bit... old-fashioned, I wonder if Apple's just dragging their feet until they modernize their date-picker in macOS?
It's kinda mean to do that though - if that is the case then they're deliberately holding back the web, increasing web-development time, and worsening accessibility (so many inaccessible JavaScript date-picker components!) just so that they can avoid "looking bad".

Apple devs always answer "we're working on it" when pressed on these issues. But after several years of seeing the same half-hearted answers these assurances start to ring hollow.
- saagarjha 6y agoFun fact: the bulk of the Cocoa datepicker is one attributed string. Yes, all the layout and styling.
- DaiPlusPlus 6y agoI'm not familiar with Cocoa - can you elaborate on this? What is an attributed-string and how does a single string define the entire appearance and interaction of a complex UI component?
