I'm not specifically defending Safari, it has many other problems (speaking both from user and developer POV). But I'm realistically looking back at that battlefield, and weep the loss of Presto, EdgeHTML, KHTML, the stillborn Servo, the irrelevant "other" WebKit browsers... Meanwhile the corpus of standards keeps growing to ensure no other player can hope to enter this space and remain competitive. My problem very specifically is with this messaging: "use Chrome". I mentioned WEI not because remote attestation is evil, but because Google (in this case and in many others) ignored the process, and declared itself the law.
