Back then there were many browsers and many actors involved in developing web standards. It was justified to criticise laggards. Nowadays the Microsoft browser, Opera and others are just Chrome skins. Google is pushing various drafts and essentially dictating web standards and then even when a browser like Firefox does support those Google flavoured standards, it still gets blocked outright on new Google products or gets a limited feature set on existing ones. Or it gets hobbled by Google oopsies. Why would anyone want to play in such a rigged game...
