The W3C doesn't produce only browser-related specifications. Service providers will implement, eg. instead of login with a user/password they will support some the DID methods. I would say that the process worked as intended. There was disagreement among members, things got discussed (see https://www.w3.org/2022/03/did-fo-report.html https://www.w3.org/2022/03/did-fo-report.html for details) and a decision was made according to the W3C process. All good!

Having read through the abstract and the first example of the specification I'm highly skeptical that the W3C process worked to produce something that is actually useful, in the sense that it ends up widely used. DID kind of strikes me as ASN.1 "with crypto/distributed ledger" stuff tacked on top of it.
