I build websites, and I don't want to be testing against multiple browser/rendering engines. I do it cos I have to, not for the hell of it.

I and most people work, because to not starve we have to, not for the hell of it. So the original statement is truism. Nobody wants to do the hard work in 2019.

It's not "hard work", it's monotonous and not worth the time. When even Microsoft realizes that, there's possibly some truth to it.
