Stuck in the 90s is generous. Win31 and MacOS both had built-in combo boxes with searching, styling, etc.

Meanwhile the browser default multiple select UI is still one of the shittiest UI widgets ever built and its still all we have.

Not only does it suck, it sucks to the point where some developers don’t use it for their forms (they use something better) and cause accessibility issues.
