This is stuff that developers are clamoring for, but maybe just different developers than you.
(-webkit-)backdrop-filter was such a godsend, and a massive pain that it took so long to go through the standards process after Apple was shipping it fine. Even then Google's implementation was still pretty buggy for a while.
CSS Scroll Snap is great, removing the need for weirdo javascript carousels, giving more native scrolling experiences on the web.
The ironic part is that despite the criticism, I think capabiltiies make websites feel more 'native' than JSON Module Scripts. My impression is the Apple focuses on web APIs that impact the user experience, which generally leans more on the CSS side.
