If a feature is not enabled in a browser by default, it doesn't count as "Yes, supported." Sites can't be designed expecting users will all go into their browser's experimental features list and turn things on.
Some CSS features can be used even without widespread browser support because the content's meaning isn't changed in browsers that don't support the feature; border-radius is a classic example. For something like CSS counter styles, if an ordered list is equally well-understood with the default numbers or the custom styles, they can be fine but it's easy to think of examples where meaning would be lost without the counter styles.

They are being worked on and will be turned on by default pretty soon.

Being available as an experimental feature does not mean its release is imminent, there are ones that have been there for years. Thankfully, it’s not like they’re in a queue, some are released after only a few months.
