Apple wouldn't give access for some hardware apis to Adobeso stuff that was being done on the graphics hardware in windows had to be done 100% software on Mac. Then Jobs complained that Flash was slow.

And its pretty much the same thing now.
Try WebGL on any Mac (Safari is the worst performer of them all btw). You will see a bit of lag, frame drops, CPUs at 100%, a lot heat and your battery will die in two hours max.
Open the same site on a Chrome/Windows machine (with comparable specs of course) and you don't see any of that trouble.
Why? Because Apple wants everything done "The Apple Way®©™" and other people just don't care so they just create a substandard implementation and call it a day. And it's only going to get worse now that they want to push Metal everywhere.
