Microsoft just did shit, whatever they wanted. Google has worked with all the w3c committees and other browsers with tireless commitment to participation, with endless review. It's such a tired sad trope of people disaffected with the web because they can't implement it by themselves easily. I'm so exhausted by this anti-progress terrorism; the world's shared hypermedia should be rich and capable. We also see lots of strong progress these days from newcomers like Ladybird, and Servo seems gearing up to be more browser like.

Yes, Google found the loophole: brute-force standards complexity by hiring thousands of very competent engineers eager to leave their mark on the web and eager to get promoted. The only thing they needed was lots of money, and they had just that. I think my message here is only hard to understand if your salary (or personal worth etc) depends on not understanding it. It's really not that complex.

Just because someone disagrees with you, doesn't mean they don't understand you. However, if you think google is making standards unneccessarily complex, you should read some of the standards from the 2000s (e.g. SAML).

This is generally true of course, but here the complete non-engagement with parent's arguments shows either bad faith or actual lack of understanding. It's more likely to be the former, as the concept is not that difficult to grasp, and quite widely accepted. Heck, even the wikipedia page on EEE has chromium as an example.
