So there aren’t 1000 new Web Component specs coming out each year, no. And fewer make it into W3C/WHATWG specs.

No. But there are 1000 new web APIs that you have to implement yearly just to keep up. And Web Component specs are a part of that.

And then despite all the objections from all the other browser vendors Google releases an API in production and will not mark it as experimental. Yes, a Web Components-related API (Adopted Stylesheets).
