But this isn't what happens. Safari is pretty good at standards (they do support BigInt and fetch). What actually happens is Google "proposes" a standard, pushes it to Chrome, then goads Mozilla and Apple into adopting it. Half of the time web developers cry about Safari not adopting Standards its because they want to adopt a experimental API that Google pushed

That is why I say "Safari gets them years later". For example:

Chrome 42, released April 2015, supported fetch. Safari 10, released March 2017, supported fetch. Nearly two years after Chrome and Firefox.
