Here's Google's approach to web standards, for example: https://twitter.com/dmitriid/status/1356125702513418249?s=20 https://twitter.com/dmitriid/status/1356125

  Since I don't do anything close to web dev, I really have no idea what this is saying.

    You asked for examples why skepticism is warranted. These are examples. Web standards are designed in the open with input from other browser vendors among other things. Increasingly often Safari and Firefox object to specs developed by Chrome and flat out refuse to implement them. Chrome goes ahead, implements and releases them anyway. The visible reaction from the wider community? From nothing to saying that other browsers should keep up with Google. Edit: Forgot to mention: Google also disproportionately dominates the standards processes. The majority of specs and proposals across multiple working groups come from and are pushed through by Google.
