For every example you can find me of a website that doesn't support safari I could find 10 that make exceptions to do so. The point isn't that nobody does it, it's just that most companies who want to make money from the general population (aka most of them) have to.

Roll20 is also such a niche thing already it's not really a fair example. People who want to use roll20 will use another browser because they want to play dnd with their friends. Most stores don't have that social aspect.

My point is that if YouTube stopped working on Firefox because they didn't agree to a new standard Google had invented, lots of people would stop using Firefox.

It takes someone who really cares about these issues to bother switching back and forth between two different browsers because you want to use a non-Chromium for most things but have to use Chromium for a couple of things. The vast majority would just say "well, whatever" and switch completely.
