The idea a company "anti-competitively restrains the web" by "not adding some features some developers want fast enough" is just so high-school drama hyperbolic it's hard to take you seriously.

What about "anti competitively restrains the web by preventing any other browsers from running"?
Like, holy shit- do we remember what Microsoft got in trouble for?[1][2] For making IE the default browser? For including a browser at all? Windows had like >90% market share on desktops, iOS doesn't have >30%, but if 30% of the computers run Apple-Web- and can't run the real web at all, that's about as blatantly anti-competitive, is as crude & crippling a blow as could be imagined. Other browsers had been possible vs IE- Apple won't even allow the possibility.
