Kind of like the way they refuse to support open formats like WebGL2, glTF, webP, various compressed GPU texture formats and probably lots more I'm not aware of.
Apple devs always answer "we're working on it" when pressed on these issues. But after several years of seeing the same half-hearted answers these assurances start to ring hollow.

Fun fact: the bulk of the Cocoa datepicker is one attributed string. Yes, all the layout and styling.

I'm not familiar with Cocoa - can you elaborate on this? What is an attributed-string and how does a single string define the entire appearance and interaction of a complex UI component?
It's kinda mean to do that though - if that is the case then they're deliberately holding back the web, increasing web-development time, and worsening accessibility (so many inaccessible JavaScript date-picker components!) just so that they can avoid "looking bad".
