W3C hasn't been involved in HTML "standards" for over ten years now (they're hosting the CSS WG, though). Don't get me wrong. I think WHATWG (Domenic et al, and Hixie before) worked very hard to bring HTML forward. And the idea to have a loose workshop of "browser vendors" agree on how to evolve browsers might've looked like a good one at the time. But is nevertheless not what standards are about, especially when it drives "browser vendors" out of business or out of producing browsers alltogether (such as Opera, Hixie's original employer, and even Microsoft). Also, Mozilla lending credibility to such an effort hasn't helped Mozilla either when Firefox has fallen from its position as dominant and innovative browser to low 1-figure usage. At a certain point years ago, work done on "web standards" has become a Google stealth ops to own the Web even more than they already do. As it stands, WHATWG will be remembered as the ones to have killed the Web, and oddly enough, Apple as the last ones standing in opposition to a web owned by Google. Certainly not webdevs caring about fscking PWAs and push notifications that absolutely nobody wants.
