According to the page you linked, nobody is spec-compliant.
I'm going to guess that Google's lack of support for Safari boils down to video codec and nothing else.

Apple does not have any support for VP8/9, period. And I will be extremely surprised if they ever add support for a non-hardware-accelerated video codec. Apple believes in power efficiency over pretty much anything else, which makes hardware acceleration mandatory for something like this.
