If a standard is insecure, all of the members of the standards body should be able to recognize that and change the standard. If that hasn't happened, then the other members must not agree that the standard has a security problem. Maybe it's something else Apple wanted to do that's conflicting with the standard and causing the security problem, just for them.

You're not considering the obvious: different parties put different importance on security, performance, etc.

Webrtc absolutely has a security/privacy issue whereby local network information is exposed to the JavaScript environment of the page.

So, if Google don't think that's a problem, maybe you should ask them why not.
