Hi, I don't work for Google, but I do work on web standards.
In WHATWG, single vendors typically work on features until they believe they are good enough to be standardized, which is when they are submitted to the WICG. At this point, other vendors and spec editors can take a serious look at the proposal and decide if it should move forward, what changes should be made, etc.
kv-storage has in fact gone through this process, and has overwhelming support from vendors and developers.
aside from this, import maps have been in the pipeline for even longer, and have broad support ranging even into Node.js being involved.
I know it's tempting when a new web feature is announced to claim that vendor is destroying the internet but please take the time to consider all the work that is put in to making the web a better place for you.
